Greetings; I need a bit of help from the ext3 filesystem folks I think. I'm haveing a comprehension problem here. A snip from a df report: /dev/hdd3 176100712 165509176 26340 100.3% /amandatapes >From the above, there is about 10GB on the missing list! Amanda just bailed out early because the disk was full, while the 2 figures on the left claimed there should have been somewhere between 10GB and 11GB of space left, not the 26 megs shown above. The output of a du . on that partition, before I ran the amflush, was 165509176 bytes total used out of 176100712 that df claimed it has for a total, both in 1024 byte kilobytes. So my question is: Where is the math broken? Both du and df, or my head? Surely there cannot be 10+GB tied up in inodes and journals? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
