When I do a df on my filesystem the /tmp partition shows: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda6 248895 177996 58049 76% /tmp
but if I do: # for i in * ; do du -s $i ; done then I get: 1 .ICE-unix 1 .X0-lock 1 .X11-unix 1 .font-unix 6 A0037194.23644DEFANGED-HTML 9107 Mates73.mdb 0 OSL_PIPE_0_SingleOfficeIPC_131730 0 OSL_PIPE_0_SingleOfficeIPC_196638 0 OSL_PIPE_500_SingleOfficeIPC_196638 4 ksocket-lannet 1 ksocket-root 2 letter 12 lost+found 39041 matedata97.mdb 7 mcop-lannet 1 mcop-root 3 pico.011982.bak 2 pico.015000.bak No way does this add up to 177Mb, so where has it gone, or more importantly, how do I find out where it has gone? The OSL_PIPE* are sockets, could this be where things are disappearing to? -- Howard.
