The block devices reported by /proc/partitions must be present in the df output for the free space to be accurate. It is limited to raw devices, and volume managers and udev are not supported. The free space is not necessarily accurate, but gives a general impression. It may error on the side of reporting less free space than actually exists. You can use the -f to exclude free space information. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
