The amount shown under "Avail" does not include the reserve, even if it is set. If the reserve is used, then "avail" (and "Use%") become a negative value. For example it might say -2.5GB Available. The "Size" does include the reserve however. I agree with Jake that this is due to it rounding 99.5% used to a whole number. -- Eric On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 2:25 PM, Robert Heller <heller at deepsoft.com> wrote: > At Fri, 24 Apr 2009 09:43:57 -0700 CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> wrote: > >> >> Has anyone seen output like this before?
