df reportw wrong numbers



Hi all

If I run df -h on my debian machine, I get the following output
debian:~/tmp$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3            -3233790934511k  1.0k  0.0k  11% /

If i do a  cat /proc/partitions I get
debian:~/tmp$ cat /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name

   3     0   12714912 hda
   3     1      24066 hda1
   3     2     136552 hda2
   3     3   12546765 hda3

An ideas why df is reporting a negative partition size?

Actually this is only the symptom of my real problem. I tried to install a JDK 1.4 from Sun. Although there sould be somme gigabytes of free diskspace, it's reporting, that there's not enough space to install.

Aftet having a look with df I think the JDK 1.4 installer is useing df and stops after only 1.0k free.

TIA
Ernst
