Without access to my fstab file, how does it know where my file systems are mounted in order to give me the information I need? My /usr file system was getting dangerously full, so I split off /usr/lib. If I start installing more kernel packages, I'll probably split off /usr/src. I could well have further subdivided /usr/X11R6 out (as I have on machines at work in the past). How can one use the du files easily to tell me when a partition is getting dangerously full? Or is du just a warm fuzzy feeling thing? manoj This is what I have: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hda2 505471 143769 335597 30% / /dev/hda5 1018298 133993 831694 14% /opt /dev/hda6 1018298 141291 824396 15% /home /dev/hda7 1383377 513463 798427 39% /usr /dev/hda8 1026067 530272 442783 54% /usr/lib /dev/hdd3 1014812 299621 662768 31% /usr/local /dev/hdd5 1014781 175249 787110 18% /var /dev/hdd6 1014781 643748 318611 67% /var/spool/mirror /dev/hda1 1052064 764128 287936 73% /dos/system /dev/hdd1 1024080 294560 729520 29% /dos/graphics /dev/hdd7 1023600 427392 596208 42% /dos/others /dev/hdd8 973536 134144 839392 14% /dos/personal -- Maintain eternal vigilance, small squishy thing, and kill anything that threatens. -- Viver farewell saying.
