I mounted /dev/dasda1 on /mnt so that du wouldn't traverse all of the mounted file systems....
Running du -B 4k /mnt/ | sort +0nr | less - reveals this: 54846 /mnt/ 31154 /mnt/dev 9267 /mnt/lib 7204 /mnt/lib/modules 7200 /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.283-s390x 6978 /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.283-s390x/kernel 3788 /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.283-s390x/kernel/fs 3620 /mnt/lib64 3577 /mnt/sbin 3185 /mnt/etc 2151 /mnt/bin 1857 /mnt/srv 1855 /mnt/srv/www 1721 /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.283-s390x/kernel/fs/lustre 1537 /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.283-s390x/kernel/net 1411 /mnt/srv/www/htdocs 1405 /mnt/srv/www/htdocs/manual 1298 /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.283-s390x/kernel/drivers So am I just being impossibly dense? root shouldn't be growing on this system. I've checked all the directory trees. THe FS mount points all empty to the /mnt tree as expected, and everything else seems to be reasonable. What I find odd is that du shows 54,846 blocks, for /mnt and /mnt/dev shows 31154 but a display of /mnt shows no large files. Just directories and one symlink. drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 May 2 12:11 ./ drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 May 2 12:11 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 15 2007 bin/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 boot/ drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 77824 May 3 04:15 dev/ drwxr-xr-x 67 root root 8192 May 12 12:03 etc/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 home/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 7 2006 install/ drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Mar 15 2007 lib/ drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 15 2007 lib64/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 2005 lost+found/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 10 2005 media/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 mnt/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 9 2007 nagios -> /usr/local/nagios// drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 opt/ dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 proc/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 9 2007 root/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 8192 Mar 15 2007 sbin/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 10 2005 srv/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 sys/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 tmp/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 usr/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 var/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2006 work/ If anyone has an idea as to either what is going on or what smack me in the head obvious clue I'm missing, would love to hear from you.
