Strange free space calculation
 
Hi all,

could someone please explain, this output of df -h command:

Code:
/dev/sda1              275G  261G    0 100% /
The disk is really full, because it is not possible to write there, but where is the remaining 14GB?

Thanks for helping

5% reserved for root. If this is ext partition then you can use
Code:
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
for get this space back. Or even "-m 0" if you known what are you doing.
