This will report disk usage of each FILE, recursively for directories (-h for human-readable sizes) and pick only those lines that are reported using the Gigabyte unit. Somewhere in the output of this command, you might find your problem. Hope that helps, Martin
Is chrome running ?
It usually keeps only file descriptor open , but file is deleted ...
you can check /proc/{chrome-pid}/fd with ls -l and grep for deleted files
something like that
pidof chrome| sed 's/\s/\n/g' | while read line ; do ls -l
/proc/$line/fd/ | grep deleted | awk -v line=$line '{print
"/proc/"line"/fd/"$9}' ; done | xargs ls -lh
