Free space of filesystem "/usr" returning incorrect size/number

Usage and Config
1

Hi,

I’m using this in some analysis:

free space of filesystem "/usr"

This is returning ‘2108022784’

However when checking on the command line:

# df -B1 /usr
Filesystem                 1B-blocks       Used  Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/system-usrlv 10418221056 8310198272 1586593792  84% /usr

When testing in QNA it also shows ‘2108022784’

# /opt/BESClient/bin/qna
Default masthead location, using /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm
Q: free space of filesystem "/usr"
A: 2108022784
T: 4076

This is on SLES15(.5) using BESAgent-11.0.3.82-sle12.x86_64

Have you tried to plugin the relevance into a property and if so, is that showing accurate? What I am thinking is the context - you are running the qna tool under specific user but does that user has full rights to /usr to read its data accurately…? If ran as the agent which is root, then maybe that problem is not there…

If you have and it’s a problem with root too then open a support case cause this would look like a bug to me…

Thanks for the reply.

Both Agent and QNA running as root.
Also tested with qna as non root, but there are no strict permissions that would impact the output.

Just checking, do you have quotas configured, and so they apply to root?

Hi Jason, we are not using quotas

Ok, I’m out of ideas then. Please go ahead and open a Support ticket so the team can determine whether it’s a bug and look into a fix
