Maybe you have a mount point overlaping big files... du -x will not find them...

Hi,

He means a situation where you have something this this

You create a partion lets say /dev/hda1 you use it as you / partition you create a directory called /data and copy some data into it You then have a second partiton /dev/hda2 and you mount /dev/hda2 off of /data

This mean that the data originally copied to the /data directory on hda1 is still taking up space on hda1 but you cant see it.
