filesystem full showing -29G
Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2024 06:12:46 UTC
Hello, I've a bunch of external USB disks to where I copy every month the following three files, last on September 20: -r-------- 1 root wheel 70G 20 sept. 10:34 guru-20240920.tar.gz -r--r----- 1 root wheel 62B 20 sept. 10:44 guru-20240920.tar.gz.md5 -r--r----- 1 root wheel 59M 20 sept. 10:52 guru-20240920.tar.gz.lst The suffixes say what they contain, esp. the MD5 hash of the tar archive. The yesterday's copy ended up with no space left on device. The curious thing is that it shows -29G: # df -kh /mnt/backups/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0p4 652G 629G -29G 105% /mnt How is this possible? I will later re-calculate the MD5 hash of the last tar archive guru-20240920.tar.gz and compare it with what is stored in guru-20240920.tar.gz.md5 Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub Annalena Baerbock: "We are fighting a war against Russia ..."
