5% of the volume space is reserved for root.

Re: [ilugd] Defragmentation Issue
as far as i understand, must unix filesystems donot suffer from fragmentation adversely (compared to M$ filesystems) On 2/24/06, Gurpreet Sachdeva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, The output of df -kh gives: #df -kh FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/1/hda654G 51G 0 100% / I beleive its a defragmentation problem.

[ilugd] OS clock problem
Hi, I also have this problem previously, but now it solved. You can explicitly set hardware time (RTC) using hwclock utility in Linux. See its man page. And make sure before setting hardware clock time, your timezone is correct. Anyways If u r on SELinux enabled system, don't delete any timezone related system files, otherwise you've to recreate those files and have to restore their security context. If u have such problem, then u can restore security contexts using restorecon utility. BTW, I've tried Ubuntu 5.10 and it is not SELinux enabled.

Umm, no. ext2/ext3 filesystems, and probably also others, reserve some space, that can be accessed only by root. This is probably what you are seeing. Filesystem performance degrades badly once it is about 90% full, so that you would be well advised to keep usage below that. But when I give #defragfs -q /dev/1/hda6 It gives: Device mounted, but not type jfs! Don't know what defragfs is, but seems like it is a JFS-only tool, and your filesystem is something else. Use mount or mount -l to check. Conventional wisdom is that, unlike FAT, modern file systems do not need defragmentation. In fact, I am not aware of an ext3 defragmentation tool. There used to be an offline one for ext2 filesystems, called e2defrag, but I would very much doubt that it is actually needed. Regards, Gora __ Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner now.
