There are other things that can cause disk space to seem to disappear, but there is a reason that one is in the FAQ list and the others aren't; it's virtually always the cause when someone reports such a problem on this list. > Didn't work.

Thanks for the reply and helpful link. If the mounts are shadowing files, that will certainly hide data use. I hope that turns out to be the issue and you get it fixed quickly. > (It was nice to not see a RTFM response, but a helpful link -- it is > appreciated). I don't agree with you here. My response *was* RTFM, and I don't see anything inherently wrong with that. I'm glad it was helpful.
