Operating Systems HP-UX df and bdf discrepencies Post 9513 by Perderabo on Monday 29th of October 2001 09:10:00 AM

Unix requires that 10% of the disk remain free to insure that files are allocated efficiently. You have used everything that you can on that fs.

bdf says that you have 6866069 total with 6356851 in use. df says that 509218 are free. Those numbers add up.

root can allocate the rest of the disk but non-root users cannot. If root does that, bdf will report the disk at 111% full.

You simply need to free up more space or make /opt larger.

You could use tunefs to change minfree on the volume. Expect system performance to suffer if you do.
