Hi-

On a dual boot with XP, my Ubuntu system monitor gives these readings:

device directory type total free available used
/dev/sda3 / ext3 9.2 GB 6.4 GB 6.0 GB 2.8 GB
/dev/sda4 /home ext3 36.0 GB 35.8 GB 34.0 GB 216.2 MB
gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/timk1/.gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
9.2 GB 6.4 GB 6.0 GB 2.8 GB
/dev/sda1 windows fuseblk 55.9 GB 41.3 GB 41.3 GB 14.6 GB

My set up in gparted is the same as when I first installed both systems (with the usual swap, /home, / etc. partitions), but could someone please let me know why /dev/sda3 is duplicated to gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/timk1/ .gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon in the system monitor.

What does this mean & do I need to change anything in my system?


Thanks

The one, the other

The first is the partition, the second is a notation about the file system on it. You might as root use the command fdisk -l for a list of your partitions.

/ etc ???? Possibly you meant /etc (which would be an interesting way of stopping your system from booting, unless you took special measures), or maybe you meant (.../home, /, etc partitions), in which case it might have been clearer to write out et cetera in full to avoid confusion.

This all () makes sense now. Thanks.
