2. df and du gave different results for the filesystem (10 GB partition). "df -h" said that the used space on the reiser was 2.5 GB and about 7 GB was free (available). However "du - sh freedb" reported 7.5 GB. Why is this?
Because du uses estimated block size, and the calculation is wrong for reiserfs.
Thank you. # du -sh sda4/freedb 7.5G sda4/freedb I understand that du counts the sizes incorrectly. But there is another strangeness here: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 9.4G 2.2G 7.2G 23% /home/user/sda4 Before untaring the archive its size was 3.2 GB. Is it possible that after untaring its size became smaller? Or df also reports false values?
