Short: df in linux 1.2.8 reports a smaller partition than Norton utilities!
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ROOT SPACE!!!
Long:
The followin is a report by Norton SysInfo:
* Partition Tables *
Starting Ending Relative Number of
System Boot Side Track Sector Side Track Sector Sectors Sectors
BIGDOS Yes 1 0 1 11 250 34 34 102,374
? No 0 251 1 11 1,003 34 102,408 307,224
? No 0 1,004 1 11 1,023 34 409,632 8,160
One would expect a 50MB dos, 150MB ext2 and 4 mb swap (fstab):
/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /dosc msdos defaults 1 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw
ok?! NO!!! df says:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2 134326 85303 41343 67% /
/dev/hda1 50964 46168 4796 91% /dosc
so: where are my 16MB from /dev/hda2?!!!
note that 85+41=126, so the difference with 134 is 8 which is roughly 5%
for the root, so 150-134=16 is unaccounted for.
The following is probably related to the problem. When I boot the
system, I get the following error messages regarding the HD (sorry for
the lengthy report; you can search for "error"):
