Dear All In hde2 I have a subset of the set of files in hdb6. However, quite surprisingly, the used size in hde2 is greater than the used size in hdb6: /dev/hdb6 71630968 50686876 20944092 71% /mnt/mandriva /dev/hde2 74770560 55040436 15931960 78% /mnt/montado How can it be?! Thanks in advance, Paul
