Subject: [CentOS] HDD usage oddity
Hi,
2 of my Centos4 servers are showing weird behavior.
[root@server1 ~]# du -sh /var/
1.8G /var/
[root@server1 ~]# df -h /var
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7 4.3G 3.9G 181M 96% /var
[root@server2 var]# df -h /var
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7 2.9G 2.7G 0 100% /var
[root@server2 var]# du -sh /var/
1.6G /var/
du seems to be reporting the right size
Anyone seeing this?

Did you recently tidy up /var by deleting some files ? I think I've seen this sort of behaviour when you, for example, move and compress /var/log/messages without restarting syslog. It would seem that the storage isn't freed up until any process using it is restarted.
