This works only for mounted filesystems. So was data1 mounted??
Yes, I think so. With things like automount it is sometimes hard to be certain, so I went and did:-
colin@linux:/data1> touch /data1/emptytestfile colin@linux:/data1> ls emptytestfile colin@linux:/data1> du -h --max-depth=1 0 . colin@linux:/data1> df /data1 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 10490104 7525288 2964816 72% / colin@linux:/data1>
For the record Konqueror now shows the file but still shows that something else has taken 7.2GB of the space in this partition.
A private email on this subject made me question if /data1 was, in fact, mounted, in the normal sense. Yes, I had just written to the directory and read it back, but when I went to look at mount, /data1 was not listed. Mounting this by hand revealed a clutch of missing directories that make up the difference in space. Obviously there's a gap in my knowledge about how partitions get mounted in Suse 9.1, can anyone out there point me in the right direction to fill it? Konqueror and, from memory commands like ls, failed to show up these missing directories, showing only some. None I could understand, but why only some? -- Colin@SpudULike.me.uk As seasons go I especially like pepper.
