Can you also show the results of df?
Not true at all. Try it on your system. When you apply "df" to a directory that is not a mount point, it tells you it's "mounted on" the mount point of the file system to which it belongs.
It's unfortunate that df does not include the argument in the output line generated by that argument.
Here's the output for my system:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 12G 5.6G 6.0G 49% /home
............<snip output>......
(I use XFS and mount my rood directory by label, not device name.)
Something is radically wrong here.
There nothing wrong with this output. Whatever the OP's other symptoms are, they don't relate to anything that can be discerned in the df output he supplied.
Randall, Seems I have a way with generating weird kinds of situations. Your explanation is undoubtedly correct, very instructional, and clarifying. Thanks for that. Appreciated and noted for the future. Regarless of that, although somewhat misleading, the command showed 15? instances of a 98.6% full / directory. That is the weird part. Wish there were an answer to that, but not really important now Bob S.
