We are approaching our db size limit in AIX 5.3. When performing the unix command ‘df -g’ it returns that we are using approximately 51 gb of memory out of our 64 gb allocated. However, when performing the unix command ‘du -g’ the return states that we are only using a little over 11 gb. Can anyone explain why these are different and which one is correct?

Thanks!

  Try google “du df discrepancy”. I think you’ll find some, the answer you’re looking for .
