Megabytes - a story of loss and gain

For some reason my harddrive has been slowly filling itself up when I'm online, over the last week or so I think I lost about 20MB. Suddenly, just a moment ago it all came back. Anybody know what the heck that's all about? Perhaps a cache getting filled and then dumped?

Either that, or some logfiles that log-rotate
compresses ... for instance if you were dumping
iptables log into your messages file :)

Cheers,
Tink
