I have a 240 GB disk (3-80GB disk striped) in vxWorks. vxWorks exports this disk as /raid0. I have a linux box that nfsMounts the disk. If the disk is entirely empty and I do a df -k, the results come back 101% used. If I start writing to the disk, it will come back with the correct % full. I'm not sure how much I have to write to the disk in order for it to report the correct % used. A df -k also displays a HUGE negative number under the used column. If I do a df -h, the used column is -1.0Y??? How can I get df to display the correct information.....when the disk is empty 0%.....

Thanks,
Keith

Try writing a file to the disk and then deleting the file. Maybe that will finish initializing the usage information on the disk.

I tried copying a file with size of about 2.5 Meg. When the file was there, the % used displayed 1% when a df -k was done. I then deleted the file and it went back to the negative numbers and also the 101% used when I did a df -k

I would call this problem a bug in df. You could report it to:

bug-coreutils@gnu.org
