What happens if you leave off the -L (but still doing just an estimate)? (You shouldn't need the redirection as nothing is actually dumped with -S). What does ls -lsak /home show? If that's just a small number of users, then "ls -lsak /home/*". Is it conceivable that you have some process running which is actually touching all the files in /home? --Alex
