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. mattB. -----Original Message----- From: netopml@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netopml@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 1:59 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: ext3 journaling taking up HDD Space ? msbenjamin@xxxxxxxxx ("Matthew Benjamin") writes: > /dev/sda1 6.7G 6.6G 0 100% / > > This is what my space looks like.

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... -- Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer E-Mail : mathieu@xxxxxxxxxxx Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. -- Hanlon's Razor -- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
