Topic: 100% /rom normal for /dev/root?

The content of this topic has been archived on 20 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I just noticed that when I do df, the 1st item shows 100% usage (others < 20%). All examples I can find on this forum also show 100% for this (but everyone seems be having a problem of some sort).  Can't find this mentioned specifically in the docs either.

Specifically, is

# df
/dev/root  1024 1024 0 100% /rom

normal?

Yes, its normal. the rom image is just as big as it needs to be to have all the files on it, therefore there are 0 blocks free and its 100% full.
Also, /rom is a readonly filesystem so there is no reason it should have blocks free anyway.

The discussion might have continued from here.
