Just a thought...
When you "deleted" the 4.3 GB, are you sure it's really gone? Did it
maybe get moved into a trash-bin of some kind, where it's still taking
up space? (look for a directory called ".trash" or something like
that...) You might try the UNIX "find(1)" utility to look for the
"deleted" files by name. If you can find them, they weren't really
deleted.

OK. Time to do a full back-up (this is mostly junk storage... of
course I also have my galleries on there... good excuse to weed out

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 I thought they were out-of-date and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.
