One thing you can try is: du -ch /etc/* This will give you a more verbose listing of where it is getting its numbers. Also, if /etc/ is a seperately mounted filesystem, unmount it and see if there is anything in there. Although, generally, if there is something there in the unmounted medium it should show up in the parent filesystem (ie usually root) but it is worth a try...at least eliminate that possiblity and check. - Jim At 04:23 PM 5/10/2001 -0600, Peter wrote: >You probably have a large file under /etc >do a : >cd /etc >find ./ -name -size +200k > >to find all files larger thank 200k, then you'll see the 'culprit' file. > >On 05/10/2001 4:06:19 PM, Drew Tomlinson is quoted as saying: > > >. . . .|I'm checking disk usage with the du command.
