I wouldn't mind seeing how you've mounted these partitions, i.e. your /etc/fstab file. It's interesting that hda4 and hda5 say the same thing. I suppose the output of [c]fdisk would be helpful too. Is it possible that the 500MB extra in / is a deleted file(s) that's still open, so df shows it in use but du can't see it. Is it too much of a coincidence that 500MB is about what you've moved from / to the /home partitions. > PS - df as follows with hda1 "overstuffed" and hda4 "oversized" > > /dev/hda1 1.9G 714M 1.1G 38% / > /dev/hda3 15M 1.2M 13M 8% /boot > /dev/hda4 1.7G 1.2G 471M 72% /home/debian > /dev/hda5 1.7G 1.2G 471M 72% /home > /dev/hda9 7.6M 11k 7.2M 0% /home/tele2 > /dev/hda10 387M 281M 86M 76% /var Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
