The unmounted version comes back. I can even write to the file, note the file size:

It is a nice way to get "/" full...., when you expect a big sized partition to be mounted on /data1 and it is not there. If you now write lots of data to /data1, it is written to the partition holding "/", which is most often not so big...
This certainly is not his problem. If it were, there would be a lot more in that directory than just his little testfile. Only one person that I recall has mentioned /var, and then no more has been said about it that I can recall. As I said to Colin in private email... du -sh /var --max-depth=1 and then we can see just how much of that drive is full of things like logs.
