[SLUG] Weird hard drive disk usage problem.

["The Dweller" <zirien@nospam.hotmail.com>]

hello,

i have this really strange problem.

if i do a "df" i get:

	Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
	/dev/hdb5             3.0G  1.7G  1.1G  61% /
	/dev/hda1             4.0G  4.0G     0 100% /mnt/DOS_hda1
	/dev/hdb7              13G  1.3G   11G  10% /mnt/DOS_hdb7

but the windows partition /dev/hda1 is not actually full
cos i do a "du -skh /mnt/DOS_hda1/" an i get:

	2.1G    /mnt/DOS_hda1

here is what fdisk reports:

	Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 523 cylinders
	Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

	   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
	/dev/hda1   *         1       523   4200966    b  Win95 FAT32

NOTE: I am sick to death of windows screwing up on me and i will fdisk that 
hard drive and get rid of windows anyway, so this is basically just for the 
sake of curiosity.

If you know what the hell is going on please enlighten me.

Thanks
