I did this and the only thing that looked suspicious was 55016
for /media. I have a hunch that /media is where the problem is, like
what if stuff was supposed to go to a device mounted there but instead
it went to a folder in /media?
This computer has two drives,
sdb 480GB partitioned as / 84G and the remainder as /home
sda 1GB, one partition, label Data, mounted at /media/jjj/Data
However, there are also two external drives that are always mounted,
Movies (14TB, USB) and Synology (16TB, NAS). I suspect that Movies is
the problem. It is mounted at /media/jjj/Movies, but I think that there
must be some movies there that are not on the drive. Perhaps I moved
some movies to Movies when the drive was not actually mounted. The
Synology is just a backup mirror of Movies (rsync).
Unfortunately, Thunar just displays all the movies in Movies without
telling me if they are really on the USB drive or whether they are
on /media/jjj/Movies. There are over 1400 folders (one for each movie),
so checking each one individually would be ridiculous. I need a more
efficient way to figure this out. Any suggestions?
