Hi
I just install a new hard drive in my Tecra M3. It's 160Gig.
List of my partitions
Filesystem Size Used Avail
/dev/sda2 71G 66G 1.4G
varrun 1014M 280K 1014M
varlock 1014M 0 1014M
udev 1014M 60K 1014M
devshm 1014M 0 1014M
lrm 1014M 39M 975M
/dev/sda1 75G 7.8G 67G
How come Var, Udev, lrm have taken 40 G of my hd? |

The only of those which uses any space on your hard drive is
/dev/sda2 (could this be your /)
and
/dev/sda1 (no clue what it is, usually it had been /boot, but far too much
data there to seem to be plausible)
varrun, varlock, udev, devshm are really located in ram, don't use any space
on your hard drive.
You usually have some kind of swap slice, it won't be detected by df, but you
can use top to see the size of it and how much is used. I would guess it's
around 10G in size.
If you want to know which directory to start looking where a lot of disk space
has been used, then use du command.

I have created a swap partition /dev/sda3, is there a way to know if
it is being used? |

if not using top, you can always use
swapon -s

Or just type 'free' in a terminal. It will show RAM and swap space use.

I don't know what happen but it's seems that I have got the hd empty
again... All I had to do was restart the laptop.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 71G 14G 54G 21% /
I would like to know what apps took over the space, and why... |
