Normal...
Next to the difference due journaling etc, there is one important
difference between du en df:
Hm. Yeah... Maybe. Journaling add -in my experience- about 32MB.
deleted files held open by a running process. du doesn't count these
files, df does.
Yeap.
If there is a file in the /var directory *BEFORE* the /var partition is
mounted onto the directory, then du won't find it, but df will know
about the space it is using.
Yes
But you're all missing rounding errors. If you do:
du -hcs /path/to/some/dir
You'll end up with a different result if you instead do:
du -bcs /path/to/some/dir
Real example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ du -bcs Desktop/
1289720534 Desktop/
1289720534 total
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ du -hcs Desktop/
1.3G Desktop/
1.3G total
If you do the math, 1.3G is more or less 1395864372 bytes; ~110MB in
diference and same tool.
