bdf : 100% used

[LEROUXK]

With bdf I obtain :
kbytes used avail %used
6263351 5730092 0 100%
where are the 500 mb free ?

No process use this file system. I unmounted and mounted it but it did not resolve my problem. I know there is some free space because I can copy files into it.

Hello,

The difference is mostly due to the reserved minfree space on the filesystem (which is not represented in the "used" column of bdf). minfree defaults to 10% of overall filesystem size. You can display minfree for the filesystem in question with the command:

tunefs -v /dev/vg01/apps

Hope this helps,

Nico

Is this a HFS file system. type tunefs -v /dev/vgxx/lvolx if it is and look for minfree, the default is 10%. This can be reduced using the -m option, see man tunefs

You were able to use this free space becoause you were certainly logged as 'root'. See tunefs for others users.
