[SunHELP] "df -k" & "du -ds /" difference

[Kevin Stevens]

Well, you asked for the "df" info in 1024 byte blocks, and the "du" info in
512 byte blocks, for one thing...

But that still takes you in the wrong direction.

Did the id you ran "du" under have permissions all the way down the directory
tree?

Hi all
Today we have faced a starange thing. There is a controversy between "df -k"
and "du -ds /"
When we look the "/" usage by
"df -k" it is below
# df -k

Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on

/dev/md/dsk/d0 4860130 4512480 299049 94% /

but we use "du -ds /"  it give following

# du -ds /

2535030

There is a great difference btw  4512480 and 2535030. We couldn't understand
the reason for this.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks
