Subject: File system question - free blocks
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:58:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1271361509.32019.1370189089@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
Under what circumstances would I see something like this happen (ext3)?
[rohan@box1 ~]$ df
Filesystem Total Used Free
/dev/partition 10000 9990 0
[rohan@box1 ~]$ rm <some files on that partition>
[rohan@box1 ~]$ df
Filesystem Total Used Free
/dev/partition 10000 9700 0
So the number of blocks in use went down, but the number free did not
increase. Why?
