This is one area where the CLI can do things that GUI cannot.
Try commands like "du", "df" and the options for "ls" like "-a" and "-s".
I'd also check to see if your 'mount' operations are hiding files. For example, a mount of a /tmp/ file system - which is normally a good thing for various reasons, may hide temporary files created in the boot sequence (or for some other reason) before the /tmp/ was mounted.
Remember, if you have copied a sparse file with some tools it may have created the previously absent blocks.
Sometimes these tools are still misleading. You can delete a number of huge files under (for instance) /var/log, but still dob't see the available diskspace increasing. In those cases, there is still a program that has those fies open. In my case is was the notious "tail -f" of a large logfile. After restarting the tail, available diskspace was calculated as expected correcty. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
