Thank you for your help. I have just rebooted my computer and disk usage goes from 63% to 87% right now, I tried : $ sudo du -x / | sort -nr | head -20 9117108 / 4731844 /usr 2620968 /tmp 2280272 /usr/share 1572152 /usr/lib 1457140 /opt 1308772 /opt/matlab 688452 /usr/share/doc 504904 /opt/matlab/toolbox 400904 /usr/src 325624 /opt/matlab/bin 324552 /opt/matlab/bin/glnx86 241852 /usr/share/doc/texlive-latex-extra-doc 239384 /usr/share/doc/texlive-latex-extra-doc/latex 230396 /usr/lib/libreoffice 230236 /lib 230128 /opt/matlab/help 229796 /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3 226196 /usr/local 219460 /usr/lib/jvm
In /tmp directory : $ ls -al gives : -rw------- 1 nico nico 2683772252 2011-10-07 15:46 tmpEJcSS6 It appear that this file is used by : 3579 ? SLl 4:32 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ ubuntuone-syncdaemon Ah ah ah, probably because of a big file I puts a few days on ubuntuone... I'll remove it and tell you.
