Good morning, I've a "little" problem in my backup machine. It can not be able to do the backups, because it detect 96% space used. But it is not true.
I launched some commands on the physical machine, here I give you the outputs.
ubuntu@BACKUP:~$ sudo df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 992M 0 992M 0% /dev tmpfs 200M 21M 180M 11% /run /dev/xvda1 20G 4.8G 15G 25% / tmpfs 1000M 0 1000M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 1000M 0 1000M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mapper/vg_data-lv_data_backup 640G 580G 30G 96% /data/backup /dev/mapper/vg_data-lv_data_archive 640G 49G 559G 9% /mnt/lv_data_archive tmpfs 200M 0 200M 0% /run/user/1000 As you can see, in /dev/mapper/vg_data-lv_data_backup there are 30GB disappeared. I know it is an ext4 partition and it reserves 5% space for root commands. But it doesn't justify this wrong space...
Here other commands:
