free space disappeared

Tinku · 10-22-2004, 01:10 AM

My root partition is approximately 40 GB.But when I select all the files(including the hidden files) and check out for the space used up,it shows just 20 GB or so.
Even the df command shows 100 % usage.The df-i shows just 1% usage.

I am sure the space occupied should not be more than 20 GB, because I know all the stuff I hae and they dont take up more than 20 GB.

Plz help

Astonishing but this is what I observed

The free space is decreasing with time!!!!!!!!!!!

I didnt do any modifications whatsoever,except surfing net and the free space decreased from 300 MB to 18 MB
