Hi
I've got a server with 59G /opt partiition. Currently df -h reports that I'm using 59G, however if I run "du -hs" on /opt the size of the indidivaual dir's sitting in /opt are much smaller and don't sum up to 59G. So my question is what is making the server think that more disk space is being used?
Any help would be appreciated.
It might be useful if you showed the du & df output, and that you should remember to run du as root in order to see all the directories and not just the ones you have permission to read as a normal user.
Suggest also that you read the fedora archives for the topic "df cmd calculates wrong percent usage (FC6)".
