Ron,
If this problem is real then there is a great little app called
'filelight' that gives you a physical representation of your hard
drive and will quickly tell you what directories hold all the files.
You can navigate your way down to the directory pretty easily and
quickly. Give it a try. I think it will help.

I really like this little app. 1 picture - 1000 words - 1 Gazillion bytes.
Good luck,
Mark

Hi,
My hda1 partition is becoming %100 used and I don't
know why. This began happening after a system lockup
where I had to power cycle. I made about 9.7Gig of
space available on the drive but after another lockup
and power cycle the drive is %100 used again.

I looked for hints in /var/log/messages but didn't see
anything interesting. I didn't see any logs for
filesystems.
Could it be that ext3 is doing something to cause
this? Perhaps the filesystem needs to be checked.
At one point, I removed about two gigs of data and 'df
-H' reported available space at around 500MB. I'm not
sure what that might indicate.
I don't know anything about ext3 and how it works or
what it does but I guess that's where I'll start my
studies. Maybe it's a hardware problem with the HD. I
hope it isn't. If anyone has some clues about what I
should do or ideas for what might be happening, I
could really use the help.
