Sometime in September Jan Kesten assaulted the keyboard and produced: Howdy Jan,
| Maybe you can use 'du -sh *' in / to look, where the space is gone.
| Mostly you can have /var/log filled with some logs etc.
It's weird, but /var and the rest of the stuff on the root partition only
seem to be using about 500Mb according to du.
| What filesystem do you use? And perhaps the output of du, df and
| mount might be interesting :-)
I'm using ext3. The machine is at home and not on the network right now. So
I'll get the output of du and df and email it to the list after I get home.
| You can try to run fsck to check if your filesystem is corrupted
| (maybe its a good idea to do so from a boot disk).
Yeah, that was my next option. I just thought there might be a way to tell
if something was hidden from du.
