Maybe this is just a fundamental misunderstanding of how LFS works on my
part, but I'm seeing some significant discrepancies between the disk usage
reported by `df' and the actual disk usage reported by `du' on an LFS
filesystem of mine. In addition, the total size of the filesystem, as
reported by `df' seems to be continuously changing as I copy several
hundred megabytes of data onto it:
oreo# df -k /home ; du -sk /home
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0e 42067777 703873 37157127 1% /home
174789 /home
2 mins later...
oreo# df -k /home ; du -sk /home
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0e 41492675 730397 36613010 1% /home
181135 /home
In my mind, 181135 KB != 730397 KB.
Is this correct behavior? And if so, is there any documentaion on how LFS
works outside of reading the kernel sources?
