    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:confused: [ot]i did delete some non working VM's, why hasn't this become free space (standard delete not shift delete)[/ot]

    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?
