Re: df command reports incorrect usage

[Fariya F]

Thank you for all the inputs.

I have a question what is the meaning of overhead block (its different from
reserved block) and how the number of overhead blocks is  calculated? The
problem is the num of overhead blocks are more than the total blocks for
that partition and that's why the total blocks - overhead blocks returns a
huge value. (Negative number).

Anyone could help as to how overhead blocks are Calculated? What could go
wrong in this calculation?
