 Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2002 12:45 am Post subject: Disk usage incorrectly (?) reported by df |
 |
|
Typing df -h produces the following output:
| Code: |
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 1.8G 1.5G 338M 81% /
tmpfs 1.0M 124K 900K 13% /mnt/.init.d
|
At the same time, going to cfdisk reveals that I have three partitions hda1 (boot ext2), hda2 (swap) and hda3 (ext3) -- with hda3 being 11457.34 MB in size. This sounds just about right for my hard drive.
I've checked /dev/hd* for any weirdness, like dozens of windows partitions, but nope, just hda1, 2 and 3 are there.
Any ideas? |

Hm, I guess it wasn't that clear.
Why is df telling me I have 1.8G on hda3, when that is definitely not true?
At least according to cfdisk (and the way I thought I set up partitions during the installation). |

Yep, you're right, fdisk/cfdisk is reporting a much larger hda3, approx 10.67 gigs. That is weird! I'm stumped... only thing I can think of is if this is an old PC with old BIOS that doesn't handle large drives very well.
