    Hi all...

    this is something that makes me nervous:

    on console i run
    Code:
    sudo du -sh /
    which should cover the full system...

    when i open the filemanager it gives me sth like 1.2 of 6.4 availabile....

    either there is something completely going wrong or...i can calc anymore...

    greetings

    /edit: added screenshot

    The /home/user directory is mounted at two points (/home/user and /mnt/home). du will count it twice.

    Also, when traversing /proc (for examle), NONE of the files are "real" -- and these can cover your entire RAM!
