Re: Difference in %Used in "empty" filesystem after reboot

Robet,

strange, I was thinking a solution in the same lines
of operation, but I would not bother to check whether
the filesystem was dirty or not, if it is not dirty,
then fsck will not modify it, it might take a while
thou...

also, a mount command would be needed after the fsck
command is done.

to detect open files on a specific filesystem, fuser
is your friend, but lsof still seems to do a better
job at it.

regards,
enrique.

My first question is this an nfs mounted, or /tmp or

have your tried to use fuser /mount point to see wht
fs are mounted
did you run fsck on any unmouted fs.
for blah in `mount -a 2>&1|grep "is dirty"|awk
'{print $5}'`;do fsck -y $blah;done

let me know
If running aix 5.2 there is an df patch

File systems that had files deleted but not yet
available for the system to use ? once you rebooted
any locks that were still on those files were
released.

Subject: Difference in %Used in "empty" filesystem
after reboot

Have a filesystem that is reporting different
utilization statistics before and after reboot.

Filesystem was emptied using rm ?r
Command used to obtain statistics was df ?k.

Any ideas on why more space is available in the
filesystem after reboot?


1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused
5701632 4727448 18% 204 1%

After Reboot

5701632 5522632 4% 16 1%

TIA
