RE: ext3 journaling taking up HDD Space ?

THAT'S IT!!! I found the problem it is not ext3 journaling it is the
uvscan I setup. It found an test file in my system and thought it was a
virus. The test file was on my ftp site 4.8G It renamed and moved the
file to a quarantine location I setup. The problem however is it copied
the whole directory. Oh well, thanks that really helped me isolate the
problem. The only thing different I did was add an "h" to make it human
readable. du -sch /* , du -sch /usr/*, ...  Until I found the directory
with all the info. Thanks again you are VERY helpful.

It's still weird, ext3 takes a little bit more space than ext2 because
of the journal but it's a finite number. Have you checked your temp
directories, try to du -sc /*, etc... I'm willing to bet it's not an
ext3 vs ext2 problem...
