Re: File system overhead

anyone have a good link that explains why/what the ext3 overhead is. I have
a partition that looks like it has 8GB taken up by the OS and I need to
explain this.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda9 219G 168M 208G 1% /opt
What exactly needs explaining?
I use this little script in a file called dirsize
du -sm $(find $1 -type d -maxdepth 1 -xdev) | sort -gr
You might try (as root)
# dirsize /opt
and get some feel where stuff is hiding out.
Or are you claiming that it has no "files" in it.
If it was once very full, and you deleted the files,
then the directory structure may still be there. For
example, if you had at one time thousands of files
in /opt, but now it is empty, the directory would
still be very large. What does
# ls -ld /opt
say?

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
