du reports usage for the files in directories, while df reports on the filesystem itself. Filesystem overhead like a journal, allocation tables, etc. that take space on the filesystem will show as being used by df, but will not show with du, as they are not userspace accessible. Make a new, empty filesystem and du will should nothing but the cluster(s) for the directory(ies) in it, where df will show only the userspace accessible files on the filesystem.
example of a 2G drive ext3, so journal and lost+found directory:
the same with mkfs.vfat (no journal, small allocation table, smaller allocation of for the single directoy):
My guess is that you've got 200M worth of journal and filesystem allocation information, so you show 1.7G on df (1.7 GB of files) and 1.9G on du (1.7 + 200M filesystem stuff)
Can someone tell me how to read these damn sizes.
i mean, i prefer to see sizes in MB but that is not the case when you do an ls -l on directories. i have a had time converting these to MB
just for verification purposes, what would a directory size like this = 3499990308 represent in MB

I have 2 big files in the size of gb. They are same with respect to content, both are “,” delimited. Now both of them are created by two different processes but has the same logic.

Hi everyone!
I need to compare two file sizes.
One of them (size) will be stored in a flat file and the other coming from a listed file.

Good Morning,
What's a good way to get partition/slice sizes down to the byte on Solaris 9? I've tried a few ways, but only see results like 8.21GB which rounds the number.
Thanks! (5 Replies)

gitmount
gitmount(1) General Commands Manual gitmount(1)NAME
gitmount - GNU Interactive Tools - auto-mount script
SYNTAX
gitmount device
DESCRIPTION
gitmount is a script which allows you to mount any block device without specifying the file system type. You may now insert the floppy in
the drive and type ' gitmount fd0' and the first floppy will be mounted in the directory /mnt/fd0. On Linux just press F11 or F12. You
don't need to know the file system type anymore. The directories /mnt/fd0 and /mnt/fd1 are created if they don't exist.
