strange, free space confusion

donkey42 · 20-01-2007, 10:33 PM

as you can see from the image

gparted is showing 10.23Gb of free space but konqueror is showing /mnt/spr (mount point for hda3) only 11.2 but has only 7.8Gb of free space

Off Topic:

i did delete some non working VM's, why hasn't this become free space (standard delete not shift delete)

Did you also try to press the refresh button?

yeah tried that, selected <view> <show hidden files> and .Trash-0 appeared, shift deleted it and vwala, free space visible

It looks just like the filesystem on that partition (ext3) is corrupted. Linux can't get the correct size, but the partition software does. Can you execute a scan on that partition?

I use df -lh to see how much space I have on disks.
