In *most* cases (but I can't say *ALL*) it is because of swap files for UMLs that are no longer running, but for which there are T-linux processes hanging around. kill -9/-CONT/etc. them and the disk space comes back. Most of the time. (this relates to the thread where we read /proc/XXX/environ, and so couldn't recognize that the processes could be killed, and also to the thread where i complained about having to -CONT a process before it could be -9'ed) - -- ] ON HUMILITY: to err is human.
