Space count in BDF and DF -f

[ASO FINANCE]

Why, for every Logical Volume, I have this differences between "total allocated kilobytes" with BDF and DF?

eg with BDF:
/dev/vg01_p3/lvol5 "1540096" 294489 1167806 20% /usr/sap/CEP/DVEBMGS13

eg with DF -k:
/usr/sap/CEP/DVEBMGS13 (/dev/vg01_p3/lvol5) : "1462295" total allocated Kb
1167806 free allocated Kb
294489 used allocated Kb
20 % allocation used

Thanks in advance
Chris

Shalom,

For HP-UX the standard is bdf, not df -k or df -kh.

Note also that if a file handle is open the space may be left allocated if the process is disrupted or not does not release the space.

Short term variances in space reports is acceptable unless you are critical on a fileysystem.
