Available space on partition?
by CVAlkan from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RK7P)
Discovering that I was low on space on a partition I'm using for recordings, I went to gparted to move some things around to get some more space until a new hard drive arrives. When I did this, I discovered that gparted shows that there was almost 7x as much free space as reported by the file manager or the df command.
gparted shows:
Partition - Mount Point - Size - Used - Unused
/dev/sdc9 - /mnt/Recordings - 260.80 GiB - 245.62 GiB - 15.18 GiB
df - h shows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc9 257G 242G 2.2G 100% /mnt/Recordings
It's not a root or boot partition, and I don't see this large discrepancy on my other partitions, so I'm curious about it.
The only suspicion I have is that, since I am sharing this directory to access it from multiple devices, there is some Samba/smb overhead due to that sharing that I'm missing and don't know how to identify what that might be. Can anyone explain what I'm looking at here?
Thanks in advance.
