Disk Free space being incorrectly reported
Hello,
(Suse 9.1.)
/dev/hdd is secondary drive mount a /mnt.
linux:/mnt # ls -alh
total 66G
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Sep 29 23:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4.0K Oct 1 20:27 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38G Sep 29 23:44 barrier.dd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29G Aug 9 11:17 diane.dd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.8K Aug 9 11:57 dmesg.txt
drwx------ 2 root root 16K Aug 9 10:48 lost+found
linux:/mnt # df -h /dev/hdd
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 167G 130G 29G 82% /
linux:/mnt #
If you see above, I'm using 66G but df reads it as 130G.
The same anomaly is occuring on my /dev/hda to the extent that I can't copy files over to that drive, and I KNOW there's plenty of room.
Is there some sort of cleanup I can run. I have moved large files, in excess of 40G back and forth between these drives and I've got the funny feeling that Suse is not cleaning up after the moves. FYI, I use dd to move files, not cp, and then I delete the original. And yes, I am sure that the Trash is empty.
Anyone have any ideas?
TIA for any pointers....
NIall..
