hi folks, trying to pare down the system on my poor overburdened laptop, and using du to help me diagnose. I had some source files in /root which I have since deleted, but I am getting this strange behaviour.
so from /root I try: hplaptop:~# du -sh ./ 1020K . but check this out: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<517>/home/matt]$ du -sh /* 4.0K /anarreshome 2.6M /bin 9.0M /boot 4.0K /cdrom 100K /dev 16M /etc 4.0K /floppy 430M /home 4.0K /initrd 28M /lib 4.0K /local 208K /lost+found 16K /mnt 4.0K /opt du: `/proc': No such file or directory 98M /root 3.0M /sbin 168K /tmp 1.4G /usr 136M /var 0 /vmlinuz 0 /vmlinuz.old I don't udnerstand why the second command gives a size of 98M for the directory /root. Is this a sign that something's wrong which I should try to fix? Maybe I should say that my hard drive was WAY too full for a while -- I booted up this morning, noticed it was at 99% (!!!!!) and have now pared it down -- but maybe there was some trouble due to the earlier crowding? anyway, thanks as always, matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
