Using touch on a non-existent filename creates a file of zero length, which I would assume for a lot of file system types would just take up one inode that might still be available even if the file system is 100% free? And don't some file systems use inode space for very short files? -- Tixy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

File systems like ext4 with default formatting options tend to have 5% (or something like that) disk space reserved for root, so perhaps there is only that reserved space left remaining and scan home (whatever that is) is being clever and taking that into account? -- Tixy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

disk usage utility
I have a single partition mounted at '/'. When I run the disk usage utility, it shows That I have 66 GB remaining. Which is correct. But when I scan home it shows my home folder as 100% full. Why would my home folder be full, when my there is just one huge partition and it has plenty of empty space remaining?

Re: Disk usage utility?
Hi Chris, Maybe lsof can help you. It gives a list of open files. There is a debian package for lsof. Unfortunately it is kernel dependent. The slink version only works for 2.0.35. Greetings, Christian van Enckevort

The slink version only works for 2.0.35. That is not true. The slink version for example also works on a 2.0.36 kernel. However, you *will* get a warning, but it works fine. Of course it won't if certain kernel API's are going to change, but that isn't likely in the 2.0.3x range, I'd say. bye, -Remco
Disk usage utility?
Hi all, I was wondering if there's a utility like top to see who is accessing the drives. The machine has been going nuts with disk access for no obvious reason, and we don't know if it's a program running in the background, one of our shell users, or something else.
