Hi guys,
I am not sure if this is the right place, but if I'm out please point me in
the correct direction.
df is reporting my disk size and usage a little oddly. The following is the
df output. Note the identical /var/local, /var/log and /var sizes, and the
identical /usr and /usr/local size and use% values
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb5 474443 26238 423708 6% /
/dev/sda5 964500 336036 579468 37% /var/local
/dev/sda6 1438888 527988 837808 39% /usr/local
/dev/sdb1 23302 3124 18975 14% /boot
/dev/sdb6 1438888 527988 837808 39% /usr
/dev/sdb8 964500 336036 579468 37% /var/log
/dev/sdb9 280005 15 265534 0% /tmp
/dev/sdb10 964500 336036 579468 37% /var
/dev/sdb11 766848 508256 219636 70% /home
This is odd because, just like it df reports, they are on different
devices, in some cases different disks. Here is what fdisk reports:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 256 2056288+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1 122 979902 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 123 256 1076323+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb1 * 1 3 24066 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 4 555 4433940 5 Extended
/dev/sdb5 4 64 489951 83 Linux
/dev/sdb6 65 246 1461883+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb7 247 270 192748+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/sdb8 271 300 240943+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb9 301 336 289138+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb10 337 458 979933+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb11 459 555 779121 83 Linux
As you can see, sda5, sdb8 and sdb10 are all different sizes, as are sda6
and sdb6.
Anyone know why df is getting it wrong?
Nik
