Terence,

fdisk output looks right: /var (hda9) partition is approx. 5600Mb, /var/Music (hda14) is 6200Mb. You left approx. 40Gb of unpartitioned space on the disk, right?

df output puzzles me. Like you say, /var/Music is only approx 800Mbyte large. I have no idea why this happened. I would try to format it again: from a shell, login as root and type

# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda14

(WARNING: This will wipe out the /var/Music contents!)
or the equivalent for reiserfs - which I am not familiar with.
Then do a

# df .

to make sure this time you got all the partition formatted.

Regarding the /var, df shows that it's half full, while you expet it to be almost empty. Two guesses to account for the missing space:
1. you configured some application to use /var/music (instead of /var/Music) so you are filling partition 9 instead of 14
2. your log files (/var/log) are growing huge


You can check where the space is bing eaten up by typing (as root):

# cd /var
# du -xb | sort -n

good luck,

raffaele

Could you please login as root in a terminal, type # fdisk -l /dev/hda and send the output on the list? And while you are at it, also do a


Ok.. Here goes:
