I have a question on my disk
It is a 500GB disk with 3 partition.
A swap of 4GB
The root of 25 GB
/home for the rest.
my question is about the root partition.
There is "only" Linux Mint LMDE 64 + Cinnamon + some basic soft (libreoffice, banshee…) Most, the automatically installed one + few games.
I had a warning during the install of the pack 4, "disx almost full…" I had to empty /var/cache/apt/archive by using
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get clean
When I run "disk usage analyzer" I can see the size of each folder. A quick calculation shows a total size (apart of /home) of about 9 to 10 GB. so I should have about 15 GB free
While Gparted tells me: /dev/sd2 ext4 Mount point / Size 25.76 GIB Used 19.17 GiB Unused 6.58GiB
or with df:
Code: Select all
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 26G 20G 5.3G 79% /
udev 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev
/dev/disk/by-uuid/8c1c36c0-2499-4153-8be6-4825a5f47f96 26G 20G 5.3G 79% /
tmpfs 397M 828K 396M 1% /var/run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /var/run/lock
tmpfs 794M 91M 703M 12% /tmp
tmpfs 794M 956K 793M 1% /var/run/shm
/dev/sda3 434G 323G 90G 79% /home
So i tried as below to see the difference:
Code: Select all
FDF@desktop:~$ df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/disk/by-uuid/8c1c36c0-2499-4153-8be6-4825a5f47f96 26G 20G 5.3G 79% /
FDF@desktop:~$ df -h /dev/sda2
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev
Do you have an idea of what can be the problem? What can use this space without it been seen during the disk space analysis?
Thanks for your help
