Re: File system overhead



 If you look at the output of df -h you will see that the size of the
partition is 219GB there is only 168MB in this partition yet there is only
208GB left. This is a new server and that partition has only had things
added to it, nothing has ever been removed.

By my calculations there should be 218.8GB left, so if not the rest must be
filesystem overhead. 5 percent seems to be a bit much, but as long as I can
explain it I may be able to live with this. That is why I want a link to a
site that could explain the overhead of the ext3 filesystem.
did you execute the df command as root? if not, it might report less free space. there is a reserved space (5% is default for ext2/3, iirc, however you can set it up differently) that is available only for root... and since you report 5% in your case...
