My 250GB ext3 disk on Ubuntu 10.4 is full. I can't find more than 20GB worth of data on the disk. Disk Usage Analyzer and GUI file tools show the disk with only 10GB free. Disk utility and e2fsck show the drive as fine so I can't get it to repair itself. Even so I have about 220GB of mystery data on the disk.



Perhaps some hidden (.*) files or directory somewhere.
I usually start at the top:
# du -shc /*
Then work my way down the branches that are the heavy hitters:
# du -shc /home/*
When you get to a directory that doesn't add up, there are probably some hidden files/directories in it:
# du -shc /home/myacct/.*
