df command gives this: athlon:~ # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda6 12325948 3208224 8491596 28% / udev 241856 104 241752 1% /dev /dev/hda7 18279592 9021516 8329524 52% /home /dev/hda1 8193116 6439788 1753328 79% /windows/C /dev/hdb1 39052448 18139200 20913248 47% /music athlon:~ # so yes /dev/hda7 is /home but look it says 52% used, which means something is screwed as after deleting and moving about 10gig of data it should be almost 100% unused surely. If this is the problem how to I go about fixing it ?? My other question is : " why dont I have a /dev/hda3 or /dev/hda4 ? why does it jump to 5 6 and 7 ? Did I stuff something up when I did last install or is that normal? Regards Reg
