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 once had a similar problem as I tried to scale a large image
in Gimp.
I killed Gimp after several minutes. After reboot, my machine
reported 0% disc space, because Gimp had placed a really huge
swapfile in my home directory.
Maybe you've got a similar problem? Try du to find out if
there are huge files on your drive.
Best regards
