Re: Who is using up my root partition? [Solved]

["Pedro Sanchez" <psanchez@nortelnetworks.com>]

The directory /data was being used to nfs mount a remote file system.
However, there were some LOCAL directories under /data also. Unmounting
/data and removing the local subdirectories fixed the problem.

du -x was only seeing the remote files and certainly not reporting any
file space consumption; it was unable to see the local subdirectories.
On the contrary, df doesn't care about what is mounted and reports the
real partition utilization.

I will always trust df over du :)
