Well, I hate to rain on your parade... but I am having the same issues with FC4. Output of df shows 39% of the home directory in use (I have a 20 GB disc, hdd1, designated /home). Hda1 hs 20% in use. Output of du -hs gives 11GB. One possible clue seems to be that I recently downloaded three or four thousand email messages from my gmail account using Evolution with pop3 enabled. Now this would indicate a memory problem, but with more than half of the home directory unused, I don't understand it at all. Dale On 6/13/05, Scot L.
