df -h,du -sh showing different result

SivamaniDec 13 2012 — edited Dec 31 2012

Hi,

OS - RHEL 5.8

when i check for the space usage in my oracle home directory

du -sh /home/oratest

showing 36GB

and when i check each directory space usage using du -sh command the total is not equal to the 36 GB.

But when i check in GUI (rightclick -> properties) it showing only 255 MB usage.

Can anyone please explain why its showing different result.

FYI - Oracle database is sitting on this server

Thanks
