Missing storage space. Different size info from df and du
Hello there,
i have a weird problem.
Take a look at the following output from a adb root shell with busybox installed.
DF
DU
MOUNT
So these two calls show two important information:
df is reporting memory block "/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" as 1.3G in size and 1.2G IN USE! mounted on /data
du is reporting 56M in use for /data
mount is not showing anything else hooked into /data
So where is the missing 1.15G storage space that is IN USE!?
P.S. I am unable to create an account here on the site. So any helpful information can be posted, i will monitor this post for answers.
