A couple of things that jump to mind are hard links and sparse files. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Anish Mathew Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 10:00 AM To: Redhat list Subject: df showing invalid output Hi All, I am facing the following problem in my Redhat Linux 7.3 which runs on an HP Proliant Server having hardware raid. Kernel is 2.4.20-28.7smp. I was having 1.4 GB free space in /opt. This is the ouput of df -h /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 9.8G 7.9G 1.4G 85% /opt I moved around 7.5 GB of data from /opt But the df -h output is not giving the correct available space. it gives /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 9.8G 5.7G 3.7G 61% /opt The used space should be around 1.4.. why is this descrepancy... Also i tried copying moved files back to /opt. But after 4Gb copying failed stating no space left on device. any comments appreciated.
