When I use "df -h", I could see:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
...
/dev/vg00/lv06 9.7G 8.2G 1.1G 90% /u01
Which showed /u01 had used 8.2GB.
While I checked with "du -ks":
# du -ks /u01
3139912 /u01
# du -hs /u01
2.9G /u01
( /u01 is an Oracle directory )
# du -hs /u01/app/oracle
2.9G /u01/app/oracle
It showed only 3GB!
Why? Where's the other 5GB?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: confusion about disk space - where's my 5GB?
have you checked with
"fdisk -l" ?
Is this disk "mounted"?

Solutionlsof might help find open-but-unlinked files.

Re: confusion about disk space - where's my 5GB?
Generally when this happens there is a process with a file handle on a file you deleted as sysadmin.
Kill the process and the space is recognized.
The different utils have been known to give inconsistent answers and normally a system boot clears this up.

Re: confusion about disk space - where's my 5GB?
Yes, the space was released after restart the oracle services.
Points added!
