Different used disk space with du and quota.
by kanyakumarirock from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J2JR)
Dear members
From my /work directory by going into it, when I type Quote:
the total disk storage occupancy is 145 GB.
However, from my general folder, when I type Quote:
to get the folder occupancy, it shows around 1000G.
Filesystem space quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/mapper/vgdata-work
1040G* 500G 800G 25days 159k 10000k 50000k
/dev/mapper/vgdata-home
37061M 51200M 100G 196k 1000k 5000k
It is really surprising and I am unable to solve the mystery. My actual file storage occupancy is 144G while the search for quota shows the files are occupying 1000G of storage space. How can I ascertaim the hidden files or the reasons behind this discrepancy?
Please suggest how to rectify this issue?
thanks
