If you fill a directory (mount point) with data and then mount an NFS or SAMBA file system on it the space you use does not show up in a du listing but does show up as "used" in df. As an example, if you make a mount point /data (not a unique partition but part of /) and drop 10 GB into it, then mount fred:/whatever on /data, if fred:/whatever only has 1 GB in it that's all you'll see with a du -sh /data command but the 10GB is still used and takes 10 GB from your / filesystem. To make sure you haven't done this, unmount all NFS and SAMBA filesystems then check your filesystem sizes. Jan On Mon, 2004-11-22 at 23:39, Robert Epprecht wrote:

I had to master one album, engineer/produce the first six songs to another album, repair sessions and mix a third album; all Ardour and JAMin jobs. Meanwhile I read the responses and sure enough I am mounting on a non-empty directory. I pulled apart my studio and the linux box to record a remote job. Part of this system is an rsync mirror that runs on a cron job but I pulled the HD where the mirror writes. Whoops! The directory it needs to write to is there but it's /mnt/mirror.
