Todd, That's just the command I am looking for. I have solved half the problem, I installed mldonkey after seeing it on this list, it was eating all my processor power (amd 1600xp) so removed it. It uses a directory in /var/cache so this had a couple of hundred meg in it, so I have solved half of the problem, but it is still higher than normal. With the new command I will have it licked tonight.
Thanks all, Tony. p.s. Sorry for read receipts on some of my posts, I forget to turn them off for the list sometimes. -----Original Message----- From: Todd Lyons [mailto:tlyons@;mandrakesoft.com] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 11:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] kcore file Tony S.

If /var is a seperate partition, then that has no impact on the amount of space being used on the / partition. What you need to do is see what space is used by different subdirectories but omit subdirectories that are their own seperate partitions. The following command does this: [root@fiji ~]# du -x -h --max-depth=1 / 21M /etc 28K /mnt 18M /tmp 8.4M /root 8.1M /sbin 161M /lib 6.0M /bin 8.0K /initrd 93M /opt 4.0K /.gconfd 3.3M /tftpboot 32K /user 40K /rd 318M / [root@fiji ~]# df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 1.1G 351M 647M 36% / Compare the second command to all of the actual partitions I have: [root@fiji ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 1.1G 351M 647M 36% / /dev/sda1 23M 15M 6.7M 70% /boot none 253M 0 253M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda1 3.1G 2.7G 423M 87% /home /dev/sda8 5.3G 4.4G 928M 83% /spare1 /dev/sda6 3.5G 2.9G 378M 89% /usr /dev/sda7 1.1G 243M 794M 24% /var /dev/hda6 7.1G 6.6G 500M 94% /work /dev/hda7 3.9G 3.2G 568M 85% /work/Mandrake/9.0 bikini:/var/mp3 2.0G 697M 1.2G 38% /home/mp3 Blue skies...
