[OmniOS-discuss] "df" reports wrong value

[sergey ivanov]

Dear Ram Chandler,
I guess this space is used by snapshots. Also there is possibility it is
used by children (nested zfs filesystems) but then they must be unmounted
so that they are not reported in your du results. Or they are subvolumes?
If you are using zfs, then I would suggest using zfs tools to monitor it's
status. Like "zfs list" and "zfs get". You see, zfs is not just a
filesystem, - it combines in one things like filesytem, volume manager,
raid and may be others. And to find out what is using the space, I usually
do something like "zfs get all | grep used" Or, for example, on one of our
systems:
---
root at megaera:~# df -h /raid/data{,/subversion}

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
raid/data             5.7T   88K  5.7T   1% /raid/data
raid/data/subversion  5.8T   39G  5.7T   1% /raid/data/subversion
root at megaera:~# zfs list  -o
name,used,usedbychildren,usedbysnapshots,available,compressratio,mountpoint
\

    raid/data{,/subversion}

NAME                   USED  USEDCHILD  USEDSNAP  AVAIL  RATIO  MOUNTPOINT
raid/data              222G       222G         0  5.70T  1.30x  /raid/data
raid/data/subversion   151G          0      113G  5.70T  1.09x
/raid/data/subversion
