In my Linux box I encountered a "disk full" problem. After removing
several packages, I still had the same problem. I checked the disk space
by using "df", it showed the available space is 0. As follows,
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda10 1041606 1041606 0 100% /
/dev/hda9 995115 297559 646150 32% /disk1
/dev/hda8 792800 28432 723404 4% /disk2
But if I used "du -s *" to check the root directory "/" and subtract the
contribution from /disk1 and /disk2, the total disk space used is
661489 K. That means I should have 1041606 K - 661489 K = 380117 K of disk
space to use. Dose any one know why "df" shows a different result from
"du" ? Thanks.
