Very helpful Mr. Ager-Wick Its strange that partitions show up as /boot under, somehow under /dev/sda1. I guess that makes sence but I also have a disk reported as /dev/sdb1 /media/kit/UNTITLED which is actually a portable disk tied in by USB connections. (kit is another user) /dev/null/ is about my level of usage for /dev at all. I shall work on that. Is there, perhaps, something wrong with reporting usage that start with /dev? /dev/dm-0, or perhaps dm-O, shows 143G size and 72G used and I have no idea where or what it's used for. It sounds like I might have a problem there. Currently: /dev/sda1 236M 144M 80M 65% /boot which will be OK for a while but I had no idea that it was a partition rather than a simple directory. There is a real directory /div/ which could also be handling it within the system. I assumed that while deleting older entries and it worked with simple rm commands.
