I guess That's by design. A portion of each UFS partition (8%, by default) is reserved for use by the operating system and the root user. df(1) does not count that space when calculating the "Capacity" column, so it can exceed 100%. Also, you'll notice that the "Blocks" column is always greater than "Used" + "Avail", usually by a factor of 8%. For more details, look up the -m option in tunefs(8). -- David Siebörger drs@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
