Why is du telling me that I'm using 9.7G of the disk while df says I'm
using
over 17G?
-H reports back by powers of 1000 while -h reports back 1024, but that still
doesnt account for the ammount of difference there. Did you recently delete
a lot of files? It could be that a process still has a file open that needs
to be closed before reporting that space free to df.
