Greetings,
I'm having an issues with ext3. For about 3 months the /home
partition has had low-to-medium use/activity.. adding files, nightly log
rotations, some mysql dbs coming and going at a slow pace.. Well,
yesterday after I had migrated everything off of it (no files in /home
anymore) the df output looked like this:
# uptime
10:35:54 up 96 days, 14:22, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
2.0G 483M 1.4G 26% /
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6
33G -64Z 31G 101% /home
I did notice that if I created a file (cat /dev/zero >/home/foo) of
significant size that I could make it look normal again.. So I figure
it's an underflow in some count.
Crazy huh? Well, I unmounted /home and did an fsck -f on the partition
and remounted it. Then everything looked okay.

Well today on a different server (that I have not cleaned off yet) that
has been up and running for 6 months is saying the same thing:
# uptime
10:39:16 up 181 days, 2:42, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
2.0G 483M 1.4G 26% /
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6
33G -64Z 31G 101% /home
Now, this server is still in production. I could bring it down for a
brief time to fsck or reboot it, but I'd be afraid to. du -h /home
shows that really only 268M is used.
If I create a large file (176M) in /home it then don't underflow on the
df, but is still incorrect.
Is this a known issue with ext3? Or ext2? Anything I should or should
not do about it?
Thanks,
Davy
BTW- df -k looks like
# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
2054064 493660 1454380 26% /
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6
33690964 -73786976294838186940 31971456 101% /home
