df vs du

[GuestToday]

When I run df I get:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 121.3M 64.3M 57.0M 53% /
/dev/hdd1 4.0G 1.6G 2.5G 39% /mnt/home
/dev/loop1 247.9M 19.2M 215.9M 8% /root
/dev/loop0 53.8M 53.8M 0 100% /.usr_cram
/dev/loop3 42.3M 42.3M 0 100% /.usr_devx
/dev/loop4 102.9M 102.9M 0 100% /.usr_more
none 446.9M 218.2M 215.9M 50% /usr

When I run du from /mnt/home I get:
# du -h
664K ./awlh3025_v6_0_5_30_xp
720M .

Why is /mnt/home "used" per df 1.6G and per du 720M?

Thanks!

On my machine Idon't get these differences (XP, ntfs).

Maybe some files on c: are compressed, and this leads to wrong results?
Just a wild guess...

Thanks Mark!
Yes, home directory has pup001, usr_cram, usr_devx, and usr_more...

# cd /mnt/home
# pwd
/mnt/home
# du -h
4.9G .
# df -h
/dev/hda1 5.0G 4.9G 138.4M 97% /mnt/home

i also have compressed files in /mnt/home

# ls /mnt/home/usr*fs
/mnt/home/usr_cram.fs /mnt/home/usr_devx.sfs

which version of Puppy are you using?

[MU]

puppy 106.

But I don't mean compressed files likeusr_cram.fs, but the NTFS-compression.

NTFs can compress whole folders or single files.
They still have the same name like"boot.ini" (they are not "zipped").
This is a"internal" filesystem-compression.

You can set that up somewhere in the Options of XP.

It is this compression I think of, that might confuse external tools like the Linix-"du" or "df".
