One possibility is that there are files in directories that are overlaid by mounted filesystems. To check this, boot in single-user mode and make sure that all other partitions are unmounted and then use `du -s /*' to see where the space is being used. (du is /usr/bin/du, so you will have to copy the binary onto your root partition if you have /usr as a separate partition.) -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you."
