Different output by df and du
- by user1263746
I have an old RHEL 5.5 Box,
When I fire df -kh I see that /var is of 49 GB with 100 % usage.
But then I go inside the /var
cd /var
and I fire
du -kh
I see that only total 300 MBs are used.
I am not able to get it. Is is possible that this partition is shared with different partition?
I see that /opt is also of 49 GB. I think that they are same partition.
I need to free /var to start mysql but there is hardly anything to be deleted.
Any pointers?
