Hi folks

every now and then I seem to get a flurry of users asking me "why is
'df' inaccurate?".
I've never really understood why though, so anyone know ?

Eg:

$ df -klP /
Filesystem                1024-blocks      Used      Available
Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VG00-LVol00   4031680          2204200   1622680      58%
/

$ bc
bc 1.06

4031680 - 2204200
1827480

So either df is wrong, I'm blind, or bc can't do take aways ;)

Anyone know why df is wildly inaccurate ?

Cheers
Nick .
