Hi,
Thanks for all the response. Here is couple of outputs
from ls, du and df. I used mv to move the files out of
the directory.
Original Situation---(Previous thread)
I was having 1.4 GB free space in /opt.
This is the ouput of df -h
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 9.8G 7.9G 1.4G 85% /opt
I moved around 7.5 GB of data from /opt
I used mv command for that.
But the df -h output is not giving the correct
available space.
it gives
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 9.8G 5.7G 3.7G 61% /opt
Present Situation.---
Since this is a backup directory cron job copied 2 GB
file to /opt.
The df -h /opt output shows
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 9.8G 7.7G 1.7G 82% /opt
This output is wrong but ls and du gives the correct
space usage.
These are the files under /opt.
#ls -lah /opt
total 1.1G

So ls shows 3.2 GB which is correct.
Now du -sh /opt output
3.1G /opt
This is also correct.
Since du output shows used space as 3.1 GB i tried to
copy again a file of size 2GB to /opt.. but failed
with no space left on device.
How can i solve this problem.
Regards
