Hi , I have the following directory structure on AIX server:
/database/test/temp


I have issued df command to identify space on the filesystem:

df -g /database -> 4G
df -g /database/test -> 8G
df -g /database/test/temp -> 8G

Could someone help me to understand this please ?

1. Does this mean /database and /database/test are 2 different file systems ?

2. What is the command/tool I can use to find out fragmentation on the file system (/database/test) ? When I df -g the /database/test file system, it says 1.5G available. But when I try to FTP a small file(.ixf), it says not enough space. I'm guessing this due to fragmentation ? If so can I defrag this ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

it looks like you have 2 Filesystems!
df -G (or -k) on any directory shows the filesystem and the size of it.
e.g.
> df -k /etc
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 13409152 4605876 8122124 37% /

Fragmentation is not your Problem with the FTP-Transfer. Maybe a permission issue?
