df command always return 0%

Hi, I don't know why but about 80% of time when I execute the command
"df -v /directory" the output is always 0% used. Anyone have clue to why this is happening? Thanks.

polexx,

simply issue `df -k /directory` and check its output. i am not sure about -v option.

-k option will return size in Kb.

Because the filesystem is empty 80% of the time ?
