  But the result of 'df -k' is like below and disk area of /tmp is
  > 2500MB.
  # df -k
  Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted

  /dev/sdaX              1929580    849244    980736  47% /
  /dev/sdaY              3050060    208296   2684332   8% /tmp
  
  This is due to incorrect check in Information Server update
