I suppose /proc has nothing to do with your harddisk space. -- CHAITANYA CHALASANI LINUX USER #410931

Nope. /proc is a virtual filesystem, it doesn't take up any space. /Per Jessen, Zürich
What Is /proc/kcore? None of the files in /proc are really there--they're all, "pretend," files made up by the kernel, to give you information about the system and don't take up any hard disk space. /proc/kcore is like an "alias" for the memory in your computer. Its size is the same as the amount of RAM you have, and if you read it as a file, the kernel does memory reads. Em Qua, 2006-05-31 às 13:19 +0530, Digvijoy Chatterjee escreveu:

It's a 'map' of your real memory. Thanks, After all this I actually found out that /opt was taking 700M in a 1G root partition, so it wasnt /proc/kcore..but find..said so and I got confused..
