Asked by LXCC

Some days ago i fulled my hd, then now i'm tring to move files to another hd.

~# df
File system 1K-blocchi Usati Disponib. Uso% Montato su
/dev/sda3 166302644 158807992 0 100% /media/HOME

~# mv /media/HOME/mydir/* /media/Ubuntu1204-64/mydir/

~# df
File system 1K-blocchi Usati Disponib. Uso% Montato su
/dev/sda3 166302644 158665632 0 100% /media/HOME

Total : 166302644

Used:

after 158665632

Available:
before 0 (but must be 7494652)

I tried with Nautilus, it's same.

Ok i solved.
Someone told me about 5% of hd space is reseved for root operations.
It means, there is free space but not show it to user.

In fact, moving more files, i can see free space but the amount showed is reduced of 5%.
That's all.
Thanks
