UBIFS space consumption
I am using UBIFS with the below partitioning layout.
<6m(bootloader)
512k(environment)
512k(redundant-environment)
5m(kernel),
170m(filesystem),
40m(user_data1),
-(user_data2)>
For the UBI volume 0 which has 170 MiB,
ubinfo reports 164.7 MiB, which is explained by:
(PEB size - LEB size) * (no of PEB's - reserved PEBs) (256 - 248) * (680 - 6) = 5.392 MiB
Total size = 170 MiB - 5.39 = 164.6 MiB
root@BOX:/# ubinfo /dev/ubi0 ubi0 Volumes count: 1 Logical eraseblock size: 253952 bytes, 248.0 KiB Total amount of logical eraseblocks: 680 (172687360 bytes, 164.7 MiB) Amount of available logical eraseblocks: 0 (0 bytes) Maximum count of volumes 128 Count of bad physical eraseblocks: 0 Count of reserved physical eraseblocks: 6 Current maximum erase counter value: 5 Minimum input/output unit size: 4096 bytes Character device major/minor: 253:0 Present volumes: 0
But according to "df", UBI volume 0 is sized 148.9 MiB. That's, 15.8 MiB more in terms of consumption.
root@BOX:/# df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on ubi0:rootfs 148.9M 132.8M 16.1M 89% / root@BOX:/#
Can someone explain where this 15 MiB is getting lost?
Regards,
Vikram

Artem, Any ideas on this?
Thanks,

Df is not accurate with UBIFS by design, this is covered by this FAQ entry:

Sorry, I think you've mistaken my question. I've referred the above FAQ before framing this mail.
The above FAQ explains why the _free_ space shown by 'df' isn't accurate. I'm concerned here about the _total_ size shown to me by df, which is less than what is reported by ubinfo.
Thanks,
Vikram

I guess dmesg output may give some clue - probably that space is spent for the journal, orphans area, and indexing area.
