space reclaim
 
Dear all,

I have a folder in drive /d01 which is of size 40G

when I give df -h
it shows


Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 94G 49G 41G 55% /d01

I dont have any other files in that drive.. dunno which object occupies 9g which doesnt show

Please guide
Yusuf

go into the directory and do "ls -al". You may find that there is/are some hidden file(s). You can also do "du" (tells you the disk space used by each file and directory.

As a last resort, reformat using "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda5"

Please clarify your question. It shows that your scsi drive is mounted on /d01, total size is 94G. If you want to see folder, then enter commands:

cd /d01
ls -la
