df shows you the available space on the fs and du the size of the files |
| 15 |
inside it. |

|
| 17 |
The difference is caused by the journal and the 5% reserved for the |
| 18 |
superuser, which du does not take in account |

I would think everyone, who does not have changed the default settings |
| 23 |
from mkfs.ext3. |
