haha, it's not my drive that's missing space so it matters not to me .. but if this is the problem it goes downhill from here and not always in an orderly fashion. I have a drive doing a low level format on a home server as I type this due to similar problems. :(

And yes, use the mac OS based stuff to fix it up if you chose to go this route...

Using HFS+ utilities in Linux? I thought they were out-of-date and deprecated?

As for running a Mac OS X/Mac OS 9 utility... that would require me to
physically access the computer (and find my ADB keyboard and mouse and
rearrange things to hook up the monitor ;-). Would you really want me
to do that? ;-) ;-) ;-)

Have you run any hfs+ repair tools on this partition lately?  Sounds
like it might help (just a shot in the dark).

Thanks for the hint but no such easy luck.

pdisk shows all the right partition sizes. What's confusing about this is that du -h and df -h were showing the correct sizes a few weeks ago
(this is a server box). Now it's df -h that's off (and, presumably
nautilus uses df -h because nautilus too reports virtually no free
space).

I know this may sound silly but, what are the other partitions of the
drive. Could the missing space be there?
 Need to know?
as root try pdisk
 "pdisk  /dev/hdc"
then
"pdisk -l"
This should show you what partitions are on the drive as well as the
size of each.
 I just learned a little bit of "pdisk". So this is why I ask.
  Hope this helps a lil bit, as it were.

Hello, I've got a bit of an odd situation.

I have an HFS plus partition that I mount and use in Linux. I have a
symlink to a directory in /mnt/macosx which appears in a Linux smb
share that I mount in OS X. I'm missing about 5G of space
according to
various Linux utilities:

df -h reports...

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc8             7.7G  5.9G  1.5G  80% /
none                  125M     0  125M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc10             35G   28G  5.8G  83% /home
/dev/hdc7              25G   24G  1.7G  94% /mnt/macosx

du -h --max-depth=1 from /mnt gives...
/mnt/macosx is 19G

So, what's going on? I only just noticed it when I deleted a
directory
that contained about 4.3 GB of files this afternoon. When I
checked df
-h I only had 2.3 G free (when I had just deleted 4.3 GB from the
directory, symlinked to a smb share, mounted in the OS X 10.4.4
Finder).

Any guesses as to what's going on? Or ways to get Linux to agree on
the amount of space that's free?

PS Yes, I realise I probably shouldn't be playing with HFS plus and
smb and Mac OS X Finder.

Eric.
