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)".

Hi
Thanks everyone for your replies. Here's the relevant output. Is there some tests I can run to see what is going on?
df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 3.0G 1.9G 967M 67% / /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 147M 15M 125M 11% /boot /dev/cciss/c0d0p7 59G 53G 3.3G 95% /opt none 1007M 0 1007M 0% /dev/shm /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 3.0G 2.5G 358M 88% /var
du -hs /opt/ 27G /opt
Hope this helps Dan
