root@LordbyeNas:~# df -h

Instead with Du 

 

root@LordbyeNas:~# du -h -c /var/log/
0       /var/log/pwfail
128K    /var/log/unraid-api
0       /var/log/swtpm/libvirt/qemu

0       /var/log/nfsd
28K     /var/log/libvirt/qemu
0       /var/log/libvirt/ch
128K    /var/log/libvirt
752K    /var/log/
752K    total

You should use du -sh /var/log:

root@Tower:~# du -sh /var/log
9.4M	/var/log

 

 

root@Tower:~# df -h /var/log
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           128M  9.4M  119M   8% /var/log

 

As you can see both values are the same on my server.

 

 

Do you maybe have any symlinks manually made which are pointing to /var/log? Please also include your Diagnostics for further help.

i try


root@LordbyeNas:~# du -sh /var/log
772K    /var/log

root@LordbyeNas:~# df -h /var/log
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           384M   73M  312M  19% /var/log
