I have a partition showing the wrong free disk space on FreeBSD 5.3:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD nautilus.bugman.cx 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 root at harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
[adam at nautilus /home/adam]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 248M 46M 182M 20% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1e 248M 224K 228M 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f 34G 6.7G 25G 21% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 248M 37M 191M 16% /var
/dev/ad2s1d 180G 168G -2.4G 101% /data
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/named/dev
Notice the /data partition....
Used and Size don't mathematically calculate. It's causing all sorts of
errors when programs try and write to the disk...
I have run fsck -fy on the partition while it was unmounted; no effect.
I've CTRL-C'd another fsck which marked the partition dirty, rebooted, and
let fsck do it's own thing; no effect.
What do I need to do to fix this inconsistency?
Cheers
