You might have stuff on that partition and the mounted other partitions over it. To check do:
# mkdir /tmp/mnt # mount -o bind /dev/sda6 /tmp/mnt
check out /tmp/mnt/home, /tmp/mnt/boot{,/efi}, /tmp/mnt/run, ...
Why would these "over mounts" affect the filesystem space on /dev/sda6? What exactly would I be checking for?
Say you have your old home with a stash of 30GB forgotten DVD-images in the "home"-directory on the root-partition from before you created the sda7 partition, copied your stuff from your old home on sda6 to sda7 but forgot to clean up. So when you now mount /dev/sda7 in /home/ it gets mounted over the contents of the "home"-directory _on_ /dev/sda6. So, 30GB "disappear" from 'du' etc. but the space is still taken (as seen via df). bind-mounting /dev/sda6 somewhere else without then mounting sda7 in the "home"-directory on sda6 you can see if and what is on sda6 inside the "home"-directory (which should be empty). Same goes for all mountpoints, but home seems most likely ;) HTH, -dnh -- VALA: I'm gonna go crazy, and I'm taking you with me. -- Stargate SG-1 10x20 - Unending -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
