9860.0. "df shows an incorrect size used !!! " by TRN02::FRASSINO () Sun May 18 1997 14:19

    Hi all,
    I've to deal with a problem on v3.2C DUnix, with "df -i "patches
    applied.
    I'm using Advfs on my filesystems.
    If I use du -k command I can see a value of kbytes used, in accordance
    with showfdmn -k command on the same partition.
    If I use df -k , I see the same result of showfset -k, but different (
    absolutely different, more or less doubled ).
    Due to this, I see a partition  108% full ( with df -k) , while the
    reality is completely different.
    I've tried to apply this strategy, reading from notesfile :
    
    - umount the filesystem 
    - corrected /etc/fstab to have rw,userquota option
    - mount the filesystem
    - vquotaon the filesystem
    - vquotacheck -v the filesystem with no sizing modification showed
    - vquotaoff the filesystem
    - mount the filesystem again
    
    but nothing has changed.
    
    From my experience, the du -k has the same behaviour of showfdmn -k,
    while df -k has the same behaviour of showfset -k.
    Is there any patch to apply ?
    Have I to make other checks in order to manually modify this behaviour
    ?
    Any help is urgent and really appreciated.

    There are several notes on this in the AdvFS notesfile
    (decwet::advfs_support). You don't have to use quotaon/quotaoff in
    order to run quotacheck and you may need "rw,userquota,groupquota" in
    the /etc/fstab.
