Hi all
I have a friend with a problem. His Ubuntu system (2.26.32-x) won't boot. Booted from CD. Gparted showed partition partition size (ext3/ext4) is 120GB and 100% full. Disk analyser only shows 20GB in files (though 120GB on partition).

Anyone else seen this problem before? Any suggestions?
in addition to Daniel's suggestions, check the inode counts for the filesystem with the -i option to df. If you have *lots* of small files somewhere in the filesystem you can often run out of "space" well before all the bytes in the filesystem are used up. -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +353 86 608 7117 www.mattb.net.nz
