After a string of errors this afternoon, I decided to reboot. The reboot failed to 
startx. I restarted in "linux 1" mode, then a memory of past experience with a full 
"/" started creeping back. I rebooted from the 7.1 CD into rescue mode, and ran e2fsck 
on the affected partition (sda9), after freeing up some space by moving files off it, 
and yes, I'm sure I put them on a different partition. The system still won't startx, 
but my big worry now is that df is reporting incorrectly. This is what it says:

                    1M Blocks   Used    Available   Use     mounted on
/dev/sda9              3238     3075            0        100%       /

Obviously there is a problem somewhere. I would much rather not nuke it and start 
over. The filesystem on sda9 is readable, but when I move files off it, it doesn't 
report any free space as a result.
Any suggestions?
