Have you tried running 'fsck -c /dev/hda1'? That would reveal the presence of
orphan nodes, which would certainly consume space.
Another possibility is that you might have a lot of bad blocks. To check for
this, reboot your system from a boot cd (ideally, from a Knoppix DVD) and
run 'e2fsck -c /dev/hda1'. This will tell you how many of the blocks on your
root partition are bad. If a great number of them are bad, I would STRONGLY
recommend that you tar up your most important files, make a copy of your
currently installed packages (you can do this quickly by
executing 'dpkg --get-selections > currentSelections'), create a new level 0
backup of your whole hard disk (that is, a full image of your hard drive), go
buy a new one and do a bare metal restore of your system (that is, restore
your system from the freshly created level 0 backup). Mondo is a great piece
of software for the purpose of making a level 0 backup. You can get mondo
either by going to http://www.mondorescue.org or by running 'apt-get install
mondo'.
Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone,
I have a sarge installation, which has been running perfectly for a year or
so. It runs a small office - mail, ldap, database, network drives, etc. It
was installed in standard sarge multi user configuration. It has an 80GB
hard disk and a 250GB external drive mounted via USB2 for backups
(/mnt/usbdrive). Finally, it uses shfs to mount a remote file system via
ssh (/mnt/martha-pub).
I have recently noticed that the hda partition is full. The problem is that
I can't see where the space has gone. From the du listings, I can account
for maybe 70MB on hda, but nowhere near 250MB.
I would be grateful for any help or suggestions.
