  But today I found out, that out of my 10Gb root partition df only 
shows around 300Mb free!

So, I started looking and trying to find out what took all this 
disk space. But I didn't get very far. As previously, I used du on 
all the directories on root level / to see, which directory was 
excessively large. But using du, I only managed to find a bit under 
4Gb of files! And now I'm wondering where the difference comes from 
and what can I do about it?

Can anybody help me here, to free up some disk space, to help me 
understand what's going on?
  



Do you have any extra partitions mounted?  If so, any contents of the
mount directories will be concealed (but will still take space, of
course).
 

It's the other way around.  He's getting the problem with df (which 
is by partition), and not with du.


No, actually Oliver was 100% correct, I somehow had some dvb 
recordings under one of my nfs mount points and they took up the space 
that didn't show up using du.

Ok, I guess I don't understand why df would report such high disk 
usage.  Does it have something to do with nfs caching data locally or 
something?
