You could try something like du -h | grep -E "^.{1,5}G" from e.g., your home directory. This will report disk usage of each FILE, recursively for directories (-h for human-readable sizes) and pick only those lines that are reported using the Gigabyte unit. Somewhere in the output of this command, you might find your problem. Hope that helps, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
