I'm using df 4.5.2, and df -k says: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/vg/lg 118169924 117732724 0 100% /store2 and if using lvscan I get: 114.49*1000*1000 = 114490000 114.49*1024*1024 = 120051466,24 so with a few % off for the filesystem info it looks ok, But why is df using Size and Used info from the filesystem and the Available ans Use% info from the lvm-Volume? /Magnus -- Magnus Sandberg <magnus@switchbeat.com> _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
