Re: [bug?] df and du -s output inconsistent?
Have you changed your partition table? When I did this, I first did
a cp -a /usr /newusr on a seperate partition. Then I editted fstab
and rebooted. The system worked fine but the old usr directory was
still there just not visible.
I rebooted using Toms Repair Disk and it showed the "missing" files
that were using up space. A few rm -rf commands and next time I
booted df and du were alingned.
