| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | I've a strange problem with my root partion: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | # du -hxs / |
| 6 | 188M / |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 9 | and |
| 10 | |
| 11 | # du -hx --max-dep=1 / |
| 12 | 24M /root |
| 13 | 4.0K /cdrom |
| 14 | 19M /etc |
| 15 | 76K /.nvclock |
| 16 | 12K /media |
| 17 | 100K /chroot |
| 18 | 4.0K /home |
| 19 | 4.0K /usr |
| 20 | 1.9M /package |
| 21 | 5.5M /bin |
| 22 | 4.0K /windows2 |
| 23 | 125M /lib |
| 24 | 4.0K /service |
| 25 | 4.0K /opt |
| 26 | 4.0K /var |
| 27 | 4.0K /command |
| 28 | 12M /sbin |
| 29 | 4.0K /tmp |
| 30 | 0 /dev |
| 31 | 1.3M /lost+found |
| 32 | 0 /proc |
| 33 | 4.0K /boot |
| 34 | 4.0K /mnt |
| 35 | 4.0K /windows |
| 36 | 40K /.subversion |
| 37 | 0 /sys |
| 38 | 4.0K /boot2 |
| 39 | 188M / |
| 40 | |
| 41 | |
| 42 | but when I run df: |
| 43 | df -h |
| 44 | Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on |
| 45 | /dev/sda3 2.0G 640M 1.3G 35% / |
| 46 | ..... |
| 47 | |
| 48 | |
| 49 | |
| 50 | the difference between du and df is about 640 - 188 = 452 MB. and "df" is |
| 51 | showing that my root is full 2.4 times more than "du". |
| 52 | |
| 53 | which one is the correct one? I've another server that this difference is |
| 54 | about 7 GiG and on that server root is 80% full. The type of partition is |
| 55 | ext3. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Do others have this kind of inconsistancy on their systems? |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Best regards |
