That was ambiguous, wasn't it! The latter is correct -- and it was the fact that they don't belong there under FHS that jarred with me. Still, it was late and I was panicking rather unnecessarily. After sleeping on it, I am tending to the view they must be from that tinydns episode. I'm going to remove them on that assumption and see what happens. I never persuaded tinydns to run, so it is no loss. > > If you're using LVM, do you have any free space? [...] $ df -h Filesystem Dimens. Usati Disp.

Ignore the /fot (also non-FHS: it should of course be /media/fot, but I am lazy) directory listed here, as it is on a separate drive (I pruned it from the other output listings above), so the actual total for du should be about 10.9G. I kept the second disk for media -- photographs mainly --, but it looks as though I shall have to take a part of it in order to decant some other directory into it. The filesystem in every case is ext3. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
