#8571: "Get info" and volume space bar show wrong amount of free space --------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: janiczek | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: File Systems/BFS | Version: R1/Development Resolution: invalid | Keywords: disk usage bfs Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 --------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by janiczek): Replying to [comment:2 anevilyak]: > Replying to [comment:1 axeld]: > > Furthermore, a file system itself uses up space for things you don't see. In the case of BFS, this includes the indices, and the log area among other things. Tracker's "Get Info" will show you what the file system reports as free which is 100% accurate, actually. > > A discrepancy of ~3GB seems like too much for just block waste though. Would perhaps be interesting to see the output of `checkfs -c /boot`, I seem to recall some instances in the past where a freshly built image had issues like this for some reason, though I don't recall the cause. {{{ ~/Desktop> checkfs -c /boot 102564 nodes checked, 0 blocks not allocated, 0 blocks already set, 2096069 blocks could be freed files 88820 directories 13510 attributes 123 attr. dirs 96 indices 15 direct block runs 100894 (2.71 GiB) indirect block runs 176 (in 5 array blocks, 10.19 MiB) double indirect block runs 0 (in 0 array blocks, 0 bytes) }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8571#comment:3> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
