This is the output from dfspace; a similar output exists for df: ----------------- cut here ------- df: cannot statfs Bad statfs: No such file or directory df: cannot statfs Using statfs: No such file or directory / : Disk space: 25.05 MB of 97.64 MB available (25.66%). /u : Disk space: 24.49 MB of 83.62 MB available (29.30%). /spare : Disk space: 76.06 MB of 143.22 MB available (53.11%).

This is probably due to a corrupted /etc/mount file. This should be fixed when you reboot, but if it is not, go to single user mode, remove the file and reboot the system (/etc/mount should be re-created). df reads this file to get the list of currently mounted file systems and then calls statfs(2) to get the space characteristics for each file system. -- Conor P.

I'm sure that Conner means the /etc/mnttab, since /etc/mount is
the program that one runs to mount a file system. If you remove that,
you won't be able to use anything besides your root partition..
- df reads this file to get the list of currently mounted file systems and
- then calls statfs(2) to get the space characteristics for each file system.
The /etc/mnttab file contains a binary list of all the mounted file
systems, name of the device, and the file system type.
