Ah, ok. Then the next step is to find directory sizes on it.
Already did that exercise, prowling through /tmp and /var before asking :)
Try:
du -hsx --exclude=/home --exclude=/boot/efi /*
I'll save that one for later.
Dave H. had the right guess - a dir I usually use for mounting external drives had a full 29G copy of a home dir backup hiding inside it... Never occured to me to look for such a thing because "that shouldn't happen...."
I've never seen that one. Of course, I knew that a mount hides whatever would be before on that directory, but I have never done that except on purpose to see what happens, not by accident :-D
That's why I always set the permissions of such mount-point directories to 000. Nothing can accidently write in there :) (famous last words)
I would have thought of that after seeing the output of the command above and seeing that the partials do not add up to the total. But as a first guess, no :-D
Nor did I know about that bind mount trick to look underneath. Cute.
