Hello Suse people,
Running 11.0 with KDE3.5.
I keep getting constant warnings that my /home partition is 99% full. Of course it is not. But.......my / partition is,..... according to KDiskFree . That partition is 15GB. Almost impossible. My /home, /var. and /tmp are all on there own separate partitions and are a fraction of their usabe space.
I have looked and looked. I cannot find anything that could possibly take up that much space on the / partition.
This happened to me a few years ago, on 9.0 or 9.1 and it was eventually resolved, but darned if I can remember how or what it was or the commands the good folks on this list suggested that I use to solve the problem.
Anyone for ideas on how to figure out what is going on?

What may be happening is that your trash may be filled and you need to clean out the trash. I don't use KDE4 but in KDE3 just right click on the trash can and empty it.
Or /tmp. Its a good idea to have /tmp on a separate file system. Its also a good idea to clean out /tmp on reboot :-) However if you have /dev/TMP /tmp ext3 noacl 1 3 or similar in your /etc/fstab then you may have, for some reason, the /tmp on the root fs full of stuff that you can't see when the /dev/TMP is mounted over it.
