Understanding problem with UNC free space check

[mp1]

Hi,

If I check a volume on a linux server with f.e. df -m, I will get the following reply:

/dev/mapper/mpath0p1 201585 141501 49844 74% /var/www

So, I have 49.844 mb free space on this volume.

With the agent, I will get 60.081 mb.
I understand that the agent is using statfs.

Where is there the exactly differnce?
I am not a linux specialist, although our specialist says, that there should be only a differnce from 5 % (reservation for the root user)
Is this right?

Thanks in advance

Yes, RMA uses statfs API.
UNC test offers several options
- check free space available for caller
- check total free space
- ...
In 1st case RMA checks free blocks avail to non-superuser (f_bavail), in 2nd case RMA uses total free blocks counter (f_bfree).
Which option do you use for the test?

Which option do you use for the test?

Ahhh, thanks

I used "total free space" - with free space for caller it's the same as the df command. Linux is not my world

Best regards,
