du -hs / 40GB One thing that comes to my mind. Each Sunday I have a script which makes a full dump of the HD to a back-up USB drive. Last weekend someone cleaining the computer room, must have accidentally powered off the USB drive. As a result, the dump has not been completed because the USB drive was not mounted at that time. I use cron for this task. Does it matter could have caused this?
