Another interesting exercise in correcting my own errors,
for sure.

1. unmount the drive.
2. Delete the directory with the junk inside
3. create new directory of the same name.
4. mount the drive.

It worked that way because I didn't know that I needed
the directory to mount the partition.  (perennial newbie)

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             1.6G  422M  1.1G  28% /
/dev/hdb7              55G   26G   29G  48% /Other
/dev/hdb6              30G  9.0G   21G  31% /home
/dev/hdc1             140G  368K  140G   1% /music
none                  379M   24K  379M   1% /tmp
/dev/hdb5              20G  3.1G   17G  16% /usr
/dev/hdb1              49G  201M   49G   1% /var
//BLACK.AEIS.TV/lee   145G   38G  107G
27% /home/lee/smb4k/BLACK.AEIS.TV/lee
/dev/hdc5             140G   93G   47G  67% /musicback

28% just feels better, somehow.

Thanks, all

Lee,

Perennial newbie? Does that mean that you re-learn all your Linux stuff each year?

Just for future reference, when a folder is used as the location for a mounted partition, it's often referred to as a 'mount point'. The only reason they call it that, is so that Guru's and UberGeeks can sound like they're very technically proficient and charge their customers accordingly.

Then again, it sounds better than 'that mount thingy', don't it?

Glad to see you got space again Lee.
