I am in a pickle.

I have a server (physicals machine) that has a link between a directory and a partition. I don't see a symbolic link.

The problem is that the root partition shows 0% space. Even if I delete data from other directories it doesn't effect the root partition correctly.

I deleted 200MB and it showed 2MB of free space.
There is nothing in fastab.

The link is between /path/backups/ftp to /home/ftp/public_html

This is my df -h

devtmpfs                  63G     0   63G   0% /dev
tmpfs                     63G     0   63G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                     63G  4.1G   59G   7% /run
tmpfs                     63G     0   63G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

tmpfs                     13G     0   13G   0% /run/user/0

this is fastab file:

This is my lsblk:

sdc               8:32   0 10.9T  0 disk /path/backups

I thought maybe it can be a hard link, but I can't find any proof of that, and also it should not be possible to hard link 2 directories.

Any ideas?

I have /dev/sdc mounted twice. It makes stuff work funny.

I see this in this lines:

/dev/sdc /path/backups ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/sdc /home/ftp/public_html ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

The storage problem and also I see that it shows 97% use of inodes, even though there is not so many files actually there.

why don't you use "du" instead of "df". Basically, df reads the superblock only. du reads each object and sums them up. so you may use "du -sh" to find the size of each directory with all its contents inside. Also you may have a look at du vs. df difference
