By default, df reports its figures in 512-byte units; if you specify the -k option, is uses 1024-byte units. Any block counts reported by the filesystem are rounded into 512- or 1024-byte units, and df always rounds down (i.e. to reflect whole blocks available). For a filesystem that doesn't use native 512-byte (or multiples thereof) blocks, this will result in round-off errors. |
