Why do du and df values not agree when other mount points are present?
Issue
The file system with issues is /opt/oracle which is ext3 filesystem.
[root@system]$ df -h /opt/oracle
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg10-lvoraopt
5.0G 4.8G 0 100% /opt/oracle
[root@system]$ cat /etc/fstab|grep -i /opt/oracle
/dev/vg10/lvoraopt /opt/oracle ext3 defaults 0 0
- Below, we see the files under /opt/oracle consuming approx 650M.
- The df -h shows its utilized 100% i.e. 4.8G.
-
This happened suddenly and no data was copied to the mount point before mounting the filesystem.
-
The directories which are mounted on separate filesystem are marked (Separate File System)
$ du -sh /opt/oracle/*
