Dear All,

        Although this is not a Oracle Question, but I hope some-one would clarify this.

        When I do df -k on of my one of my client's system (DEC Alpha 4100, 4.0 F ) , the result is as follows:

# df -k

Filesystem  1024-blocks        Used   Available Capacity  Mounted on

	The problem is that the sum of used and available blocks don't

match
with total no of Blocks. They are always less by app. 10% from the total no of
blocks. Is there any specific reason for this??? Received on Sun Oct 15 2000 - 23:27:40 CDT
