as another poster said, it could be a bad-blocks problem, but i doubt it. they're not very common on drives that work properly :o) by default, a certain amount of space is reserved for root. that's usually 5% which explains the problem almost completely. tune2fs can change that if you're worried. there is another posibility. sometimes a deleted file doesn't free its space when you crash your computer. when you next run fsck, it should be corrected. cheers :) -- We don't know how bad things are in north korea, but here are some pictures of hungry children. -- CNN
