/dev/sd2a 275G 275G -13.7G 105% /home/cy I have no understanding of this. I've never seen a df output that tells me I'm using 13GB more space than the drive is capable of holding. I ask here because there's obviously potential for me to lose data somewhere down the line. I'll be grateful if anyone can explain where I've gone wrong.
