Good Folks:<br><br>Is there something more reliable than df to give the true amount of free space left on the drive on a jffs2 XO1?<br><br>I boot up and it shows 130Mb of free space, then by doing absolutely nothing disk intensive, for example a yum check, it then shows 169Mb free. If I then yum remove a tiny rpm, let's say ntp, which says it's 1.7 Mb, it then shows 230Mb free. Very weird. However, it gets more interesting ... when I shut down and reboot it again shows 137Mb, (presumably the real difference between 130 and the ntp removal). I then do a yum install ntp back, and weirdly I now I end up with more free space ... 180Mb of free. I'm very confused.: -)<br>
<br>At work on AIX, I sometimes use du / -s -h and then total up, but on the XO I get circular refs when I try to do this, and it gets messed.<br><br>I could probaly just write 1K blocks until it dies, but that really isn't an elegant workaround considering what I'm trying to accomplish is a boot-time little script which lets users know when the disk space is getting low, and lets them know they should start purging.<br>
<br><br>No urgency.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>KG<br>
