I don't think they are related, since I get a negative partizion size. I guess, that df has a problem with the size of the disk, it's 12 GBytes HD running on a 6 year old Pentium I.
For the JDK installation problem I temporarily replaced df with an script echoing something usefull, just to make the JDK installation script seeing enough free disk space. HTH Ernst ----- original Nachricht -------- Not sure if this is related but i have have weirdness with df aswell <a href='http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200311/msg00575.html' target='_blank'><u>http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200311/msg00575.html</u></a> And i don't have thousands and thousands of tiny files to explain for the difference in reported size, nor could i find open files with lsof. cheers Ernst Plüss wrote: > Hi all > > If I run df -h on my debian machine, I get the following output > debian:~/tmp$ df -h > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > /dev/hda3 -3233790934511k 1.0k 0.0k 11% / > > If i do a cat /proc/partitions I get > debian:~/tmp$ cat /proc/partitions > major minor #blocks name > > 3 0 12714912 hda > 3 1 24066 hda1 > 3 2 136552 hda2 > 3 3 12546765 hda3 > > An ideas why df is reporting a negative partition size? > > Actually this is only the symptom of my real problem.
