Message-ID: <2697.26d4fadc@csc.anu.oz> Date: 24 Aug 90 10:00:59 GMT Organization: Computer Services, Australian National University Lines: 18 Hi, I've got a DECStation 3100 running Ultrix 2.1. We have a 600Mb hard disk with three partitions. Why doesn't USED+FREE=TOTAL ? I assume it isn't swap space as that's a separate partition (isn't it?) so maybe it's because the disk is fragmented? If so, how do you pack a ultrix disk? It seems we're missing over 50Mb! Here is the output from df Filesyste Total kbytes kbytes % node kbytes used free used Mounted on /dev/rz1a 15551 9659 4337 69% / /dev/rz1g 271848 215676 28988 88% /usr /dev/rz1h 271849 71937 172728 29% /u Thnaks in advance for any help tridge@aerodec.anu.oz.au
