Hi all=20
Today we have faced a starange thing. There is a controversy between "df =
-k"  and "du -ds /"=20
When we look the "/" usage by=20
"df -k" it is below
# df -k=20

Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on=20

/dev/md/dsk/d0 4860130 4512480 299049 94% /=20

but we use "du -ds /"  it give following=20

# du -ds /=20

2535030=20

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

Do you have any idea?

Thanks=20
