Well, in that case, you could always try cd /data01/Software for i in * ; do du -sk "$i" "/data02/Software/$i" ; done | more to see which of the directories inside Software have increased in size. Then you can try similar drill-downs. This will show you, basically, whether it's only part of the contents which have increased requirements (in which case, you look more closely at that data), or whether the storage requirements for everything has increased (in which case, there's probably something odd about one or other filesystem).
