Re: Question about FS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Typically, filesystems reserve some space for housekeeping purposes (journal size, default dirs, superblocks, etc). This is not unusual. If by any chance the fs you made is ext2/3, you can type:

tune2fs -l <dev name for FS OR mount point>

to list the contents of the superblock and watch the value of 'Block Count' versus 'Free Blocks' to verify.

Can anybody tell me the reason for this:

I've created a FS with 500M and when I type df -Th I see the FS with the full size: 485M (for example...) what is using 15M from it??

Thanks in advance.
