Disk usage problems

Hi,

Using the du command in shell, it shows that 1.8gb of my partition is being used. However when I type df, 4.1gb out of 4.8gb is said to be used... Why is there such a big discrepancy? Does it have anything to do with a symbolic directory linked to a 3gb directory on another partition?

Just think of it as rounding errors.

Try a
du -k
for instance, and compare the values then.

Cheers,
