Howdy all, I have an ubuntu box and I have a bit of weird behavior concerning disk usage. I have a partition for /home and I have a separate partition mounted to /home/fincher/media-backup. The output of df shows this
Code:
/dev/sda4 1.8T 1.4T 353G 80% /home
/dev/sdb1 1.8T 728G 1014G 42% /home/fincher/media_backup
Yet the output of du for /home shows this.
Code:
16K ./lost+found
716G ./fincher
716G .
If I run du without the -x option (which makes it exclude ~/media-backup I get this
Code:
16K ./lost+found
1.5T ./fincher
1.5T .
This makes sense because a bulk of what I have in my home folder is media that is backed up on the other partition.
My question is whether I might be seeing faulty output from df. If not, then I would appreciate any help in figuring out why df seems to think I am taking up almost double the space that I should be. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
