Hello all,
Can anyone help me with a disk usage problem? I have a disk
partition of 65GB in LVM; df says:
/dev/dm-0 65570580 60494828 1744888 98% /
However, if I use either du or Baobab they reckon the directories in it
add up to 30Gb or so. As it is my root directory, and there are various
others it is a little difficult to get the total, so I booted under
liveUSB and saw exactly the same - 30Gb used, but 98% full.
So something is stealing half my disk. If I try to write more it is
out of space.
Any ideas how I get my space back? fsck reports the disk is clean.
Thanks,
Bill
Hi Bill,
could it be that the "reserved Blocks percent" Option of an ext2/3/4 FS
is the matter for that behaviour?
Find out how it is set by using dumpe2fs /dev/ice
You can set it to zero by using tune2fs -m 0 /dev/ice.
