Data mount point not reflecting actual utilization.
HI ,

I could see in df -k output that a mount point is 100% full.
But i could not find any files with huge size that can be removed.

So, i have umounted and mounted the filesystem again.
Now, in my df -k output i could see that th eutilization is only 7%.

Can anyone please suggest what is causing this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Sag.

before umount, you may have deleted a large file used by a random process. even you killed the process before unmounting, the df will print disk usage inserting space used by this file deleted.

before umount, you can verify that using "df -k /fs" or "du -ks /fs"

that the only explanation i have, and sorry for my english

i have not deleted any file before umounting.

Also, the mount point size is only 200MB whereas du -sk is showing 330Mb as the space.

Please suggest.

well, im new to this.

do u have another fs mounted under your actual one ?
maybe more appropriate to use "du -skx /fs" actually.

can u copy/paste your df / du ?
