Remember that, by default, df prints binary values, but hard drives are measured in decimal. So try "df -H". Lastly, remember that df sees blocks, but du sees *files*. So, where du sees 3 files that are each 1KiB, fir a total of 3KiB, df sees them as each using 1 4KiB block, for a total of 12KiB. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA ESPN makes baseball players better. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFINtJdS9HxQb37XmcRAt+1AKDJQtH2WM8a71HZ6ZxEqYuksJA5/gCgwNZb AjCKpMB81THVFEEAx9wXAos= =BxyI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
