There is a very strange question with my RedHat 7.2 linux--NO disk space with /usr
[root@server01 etc]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 3.9G 114M 3.6G 3% /
/dev/sda6 1011M 633M 327M 66% /data01
/dev/sda7 1011M 508M 452M 53% /home
none 251M 0 250M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3 3.0G 3.0G 0 100% /usr
/dev/sda5 2.4G 356M 1.9G 16% /var
/dev/sda2 4.9G 253M 4.4G 6% /data02
[root@server01 etc]# cp hosts.allow /usr
cp: writing `/usr/hosts.allow': No space left on device
[root@server01 etc]#
But when I run the following command:
[root@server01 etc]# du -sh /usr
1.2G /usr
[root@server01 etc]#

Why? And how can I resolve it?
Tks a lot!!!

Pardon me, but this doesn't sound very strange. It looks as though you've just run out of space in /usr. What's the problem? Mike

Hi,
He wants to know why DF says he has used all 3.0 GIG wheras DU says he has only used 1.2 GIG. Where is the other 1.8 GIG?

Hidden files? Files you don't have permission to see?
