hd shows almost full, but there should be enough spacce

[vbunjes]

hello,

i have a problem, when i check my hardisk with :

df -h

i get the following

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 147G 139G 485M 100% /
udev 998M 60K 998M 1% /dev
/dev/sda1 99M 14M 81M 15% /boot

but there should be much much more space, because i have almost no files on the drive

But When i do :

du -sh i get the information that there is only 3.5 gb in use

du -sh /

3.5G /

does anybody have an idea on the problem and why the hd is so full ?

i'ts bugging me for hours now !

gr,

vincent

Do a "df -k" and post the results. I doubt it since you mentioned you had didn't have a lot of files on the drive but you could be out of inodes.

when i do the df -k, i get the following


hosting01:~ # df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 153226660 144957888 485280 100% /
udev 1021496 60 1021436 1% /dev
/dev/sda1 101086 13471 82396 15% /boot


when i do du -kh


hosting01:~ # df -kh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 147G 139G 472M 100% /
udev 998M 60K 998M 1% /dev
/dev/sda1 99M 14M 81M 15% /boot


when i do the "du -kh /"

3.5G /
could it be that i might have restart the server to get the free space allocated ?

all tips are welcome

Okay - if you look at the df -k you see the problem. How much do you know about filesystems?

Basically, you need more 1k-blocks. Do you have a lot of small files being used?
