Interesting: >>df -b /u04 (/dev/vg04/lvol1 ) : 201980744 Kbytes free /u03 (/dev/vg03/lvol1 ) : 209052544 Kbytes free /u02 (/dev/vg02/lvol1 ) : 205633440 Kbytes free /u01 (/dev/vg01/lvol1 ) : 205421832 Kbytes free .... the outcome of df makes more sense. The free space available in /u02 and /u03 are close. (almost 3 MB difference. Not sure why?) Why is that different from dbf? I don't think I'm misinterpreting dbf's output. any idea?
