Description Matt Taylor 2003-08-25 11:53:30 UTC
In Section 3, under Code Listing 3.1 it says:

Warning:  It has been observed that if you are low on disk space and you prelink
your entire system then there is a possibility that your binaries may be
truncated. The result being a b0rked system. Use the file or readelf command to
check the state of a binary file. Alternatively, check the amount of free space
on your harddrive ahead of time with du -h.

'du -h' should be changed to 'df -h'

Reproducible: Always

This one is ok, definetly it should be df, as du will report only for cpecified dir.
