today some more, less drastic but still

revisited du- checked it twice - three
times- yup, it reports one directory at
800+ gb- on a 400gb disk!

fsck (forced) failed to report any problems,
there don't seem to be any symlinks,
and the sub-direcory sizes are sane...

any ideas welcome, and appreciated.
Instead of telling people what you are seeing it would be better to show the actual commands and output.

good point.

OK.... I believe I know what the problem is. The torrents_isos/porn directory makes things seem larger than what they really are....

No, just kidding.....

I believe you may have a bunch of non-completed torrent downloads. When you start a torrent download the client will reserve the space and it will be reflected in the output of "du" but *not* in the output of "df". Thus with "du" you can have a situation where it "thinks" more disk space is being used than it actually is. FWIW, this is normal.
