Well, I'm not sure what the problem was exactly, but I bought

the correct free space, which was my original issue with the drive.
Very cool.

You just have to love those strange problems tha are resolved in a way
that doesn't explain what happened. At least you were able to fix it.
It makes sense that a problem with the drive like that could cause du
to not be able to see all the space being used.

I should be clearer: it rebuilt the disk enough for me to get stuff off
of it. The drive still had problems so after I recovered everything, I
reformatted it. Well worth the purchase price, I think.
