Disk Space Problem
 

I partitioned a 10 GB [about] section of my HDD for Mandrake and installed it. I chose to install EVERYTHING I could. Because I am new to linux I figured that I would go that route so that when I tried to install or sompile anything, I would have all of the dependencies. That assumption was very wrong.

But, the problem that I am having is that I am running out of HD space. I have not downloaded 7 GB of stuff so where did my space go?

Here is my fstab:
/dev/hdb7 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/win_c2 ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /mnt/win_d2 ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0


here is my df:
Filesystem Used Available Use Mounted on
/dev/hdb7 8700448 110064 99% /
/dev/hda1 4600664 5761228 45% /mnt/win_c
/dev/hdb5 12799772 5634780 70% /mnt/win_c2

/dev/hdb6 10043476 358576 97% /mnt/wind_2

I don't have much media on my linux drive (hdb7) and don't have many large files. I just don't know where my space went. After I nstalled mandrake i was using about 3.5gb. Can someone help??

:Pengy: :Pengy:

try something like... to see where all the space is, try then changing to the offending directry and trying that again.. track down where all the space is.

this is what i get

$ du: '.' : Input/output error
