Hi all, This is very strange. I just finished installing a debian system. It works ok, but here's the weird part: /usr/local and /usr seem to be the same drive even though I put it on different partitions. Their free space goes up and down together. Here's the df output: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda9 869620 24796 800648 3% / /dev/hda8 4901924 1364 4651556 0% /home /dev/hda5 474443 22448 427498 5% /var /dev/hda6 10072456 319640 9241148 3% /usr/local /dev/hda7 10072456 319640 9241148 3% /usr /dev/hda2 15554 1308 13443 9% /boot # cd /usr/data # cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19pre17 . # df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda9 869620 24796 800648 3% / /dev/hda8 4901924 1364 4651556 0% /home /dev/hda5 474443 22448 427498 5% /var /dev/hda6 10072456 320624 9240164 3% /usr/local /dev/hda7 10072456 320624 9240164 3% /usr /dev/hda2 15554 1308 13443 9% /boot # fdisk /dev/hda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 5606 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 2551 2552 16065 83 Linux /dev/hda3 2553 2568 128520 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 2569 5606 24402735 5 Extended /dev/hda5 2569 2629 489951 83 Linux /dev/hda6 2630 3602 7815591 83 Linux /dev/hda7 3603 4876 10233373+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 4877 5496 4980118+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 5497 5606 883543+ 83 Linux # ls -dl /usr/local drwxrwsr-x 9 root staff 4096 Jun 21 16:31 /usr/local/ Any clues?
