hi gurus,

This is unix question but hope someone got the answer.... I ran df -k yesterday on my oracle directories.

/oradata4  81%
/oradata3  77%
/oradata6 72%

( this not exact out put only inclueded mount on ,capacity) I removed some files from /oradata4 and added some files to /oradata4 the figure didnot changed on /oradata4 .. but increased to 87% .

today agian I ran df -k which showed. /oradata4 as at 76% capacity.

my question why df -k command took some time to give exact figures on disk usage ?
Is there any why to refresh this command or are there any alternatives ?
