Missing hard drive space. df and du can't agree
Hi I have been searching for the 'lost' hard drive space on the root partition of one of my servers.
6.2-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 When I peform a df -h for the root partition I get this gol-goroth# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 496M 453M 3.2M 99% / Using the du -xh / | grep M command I get the output of 1.0M ./etc/rc.d 4.2M ./etc 19M ./boot/kernel 19M ./boot 3.5M ./lib 4.0M ./sbin 33M . This would indicate that the / partition has 33mb of data on it. What I don't understand is why there is a difference between the 2 commands. When I try and copy data onto the / partition I get an error that it is out of space. I have only included the du output of M as the complete listing results in 33Mb being used. Is there anything I have potentially missed ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
