Description Ward Fenton 1999-03-26 17:47:09 UTC

the df command's output is no longer correct for my software
based raid partitions.

This problem didn't exist with 5.8.6.

Here's the output of the "df" command on my system.

$ df
Filesystem   1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1        124407  100710    17273     85%   /
/dev/md0         379248  261041   118207     69%   /usr
/dev/md1        2602504  229393  2373111      9%   /usr/data


These values are about 1/4 the correct size.


Below is the disk geometry, raid configuration, and related
kernel output.

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 1999-03-27 01:10:59 UTC

This smells more like a kernel bug ...

Comment 2 Preston Brown 1999-03-30 20:59:59 UTC

I agree sounds like a kernel bug.  Has this been fixed with the 2.2.5
kernel?  We haven't changed "df" in quite some time.

Comment 3 Michael K. Johnson 1999-04-09 23:33:59 UTC

This is actually a glibc bug

Comment 4 Cristian Gafton 1999-06-18 16:35:59 UTC

Is this still tru in the final shipping Red Hat Linux 6.0?

Please reopen if so.
