Hello, on a freshly installed NetBSD/i386 system (5.99.11 built from sources as of about two days ago) df(1) seems to report a wrong value for the free disk space for the /var file system (du(1) is correct, though): $ df -h /var Filesystem Size Used Avail %Cap Mounted on /dev/wd0f 241M 139M 90M 60% /var $ du -xsh /var 3.2M /var IIRC a similar problem has been reported recently, but I can't find the thread in question now. Any hints?
You don't happen to have very many small files on /var do you?If I remember right, du reports the actual size of the files, while with df you see how much space have been allocated. They are not the same thing.
Other than that, I can't guess. :-)
