I have a really weird problem with my disc space. Ive had this problem for some time now, but the differense hasnt been this big until now, since i started deleting old stuff and/or burning on DVDR.
Ok, this is what df tells me.
Code:
benne@eternity benne $ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[.....]
/dev/hdb1 115G 87G 29G 76% /mnt/data
[....]
benne@eternity benne $ df -H
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[...]
/dev/hdb1 124G 93G 31G 76% /mnt/data
[...]
benne@eternity benne $
Accoring to -h, i should have only 19 gb left and according to -H it should be 20G. The problem is that when i count with nautilus i only use about 55G of space. Same when i count with ls (ls -lh|grep total) i get about 50-60 gb. And with some common sense ive figured out i just cant be abut 90G in use.
Also the partition is a vfat partition (back in the days i was starting off with linux). Maybe that is the problem.
So what is the problem, my guess is that it has something to do with some kind of syncronizing between the vfat driver and linux. (im using gentoo if that is to any help) Can I clean that up (maybe some kind of buffer needs to be cleaned/updated/refreshed) or something. Or can I just convert to ext3 if that is possible and then it will be OK?
Does this seem familiar to any of you?
