Hello,
I am having a weird problem. When i moved one huge file under / parition to /var partition, I saw
the /var partition usage increased to the expected size and / partition usage still remains the
same.
I am pretty sure the file is not in / anymore and yet the usage for / don't change. What is going
on ?
here is the df output, as u can see / and /var are different partition :
[root at extreme /]# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7 1035660 862312 120740 88% /
/dev/sda1 101086 7934 87933 9% /boot
/dev/sda5 6554184 49372 6171868 1% /data
none 517800 0 517800 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda8 3154588 1206136 1788208 41% /home
/dev/sda2 40472588 22818308 15598364 60% /usr
/dev/sda3 17172560 3543928 12756304 22% /var
thanks,
James.
