That's way too much. $ du -sh /dev 34.0K /dev My guess is you typoed a dd command and ended up creating some huge file in there. ls -l /dev | grep '^[^cb]' will show you the non-devices. There's a few non-devices that are supposed to be there, but my guess is that you'll see the culprit quickly. -- Martin
