Hi Frank, I had rebooted, a couple of times actually - and the problem persisted.
I ended up copying my root partition over to a spare partition. Doing that, still only ~ 76 MB of files were copied. I booted from that for a while, tried to work on my original root partition, but couldn't see what was taking up the space. I eventually had to re-format it, copy my backup back to their original partition, and now I am back to about 76 MB using on that FS, around where it should be. Really strange though... Thanks again. cheers vinai On Thu, 22 May 2003, Frank Gevaerts wrote: > ISTR that the journal is fixed-size, so that is unlikely to be the > problem.
