If I had to guess, I'd say that You're using ext2, ext3, or reiser (without tail packing)... du reports BLOCKS not bytes. If 'df' says it is full, then it is full. Although I'm not sure how you have 2 gigs in consumed blocks on a Gentoo Box. > 2) Assuming the gentoo partition is really full, is this normal and is > there any temporary stuff I should get rid of after emerging kde? rm -Rf /var/tmp/portage rm -Rf /usr/portage/distfiles/* /usr/portage/packages/* Should free you up some space... Although it may or may not be much. Distfiles and packages may be things you don't wanna rm. Your choice. --NJ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
