If that doesn't help, what exactly do you want to check on this hard

I have a Fantom drive, 160GB with 3 partitions. One is extfs and the
others are hfs journalled for my OS X partition backup and my wife's
iBook backups. I have divide it so that the Linux partition is 40GB. I
have about 6GB of data on it but it is showing only 7GB of free space.
I double checked the drive with OS X disk utility and it actually has
40GB capacity so I wonder where all the free space is. Any ideas on how
to check this. What Linux utility is equivalent to Mac Disk utility?
<br>
Thanks

OK- figured out the caps thing. I had installed gnome-applets and while
the daemon is running I have no caps! Won't use that again.
<br>
Thanks much for the info Jeff. Those commands are great!

For a total of 11G as opposed to 25G

<br>
So my question is what are using the other 14GB that df -h shows as
being used? I want to free up those Gigs if I can.

Brian, you may have said already, but i'm curious which distro are you
using? I have suse 10.1, and i also have a "/media" directory, which
is NOT the full hard drive.<br>
<br>
You say you have only 6 gigs of disk space in use, but according to `du
-h...` the <u>/media/For_Linux</u> directory is consuming 11 gigs<br>
<br>
try this command as root (or use sudo)<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">$ du -h / > du.txt<br>
</font><br>
That will create a text file containing the information from du
command. should not see much happen, but once you get your command
line back it is done. you can then use the following command to view
the du output:<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><br>
$ less du.txt<br>
</font>navigating with the less command: <enter> scroll down one
line, <space> down one page, <b> back one page, <G>
go to the bottom of the file, <q> quit<br>
