First, Thanks for info. $ df | grep -v tmpfs Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb3 91793264 49477204 40422732 56% / efivarfs 384 132 248 35% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /dev/sdb2 1512328 877892 586600 60% /boot /dev/sdb1 613160 39124 574036 7% /boot/efi /dev/sdb5 200476396 7820680 188543332 4% /data /dev/sdb4 687271584 38145160 635122676 6% /home The / partition is running at 56% full Largest directories with. 8563824 ./var 8651924 ./root 29461092 ./usr 49473268 . My / is only /dev/sdb3 88G 48G 39G 56% / Believe it was even smaller at one point, and had to enlarge it. Had issues when doing an upgrade to a newer version, and it not having enough space to download files, and do upgrade. So, can't say exactly why it is 88G?

The interesting thing, is both machines are Dell Lattiture 5580s, but one has Nvidia card, while other doesn't, and one only has the SDA and other has pcie? Would think they would have different model numbers.
