Hi,

I just restarted my VM and the used disk space went from 7GB to over 40GB. The problem is, that I can't find the files or directories that are using up all the space.

Running sudo du -h --max-depth=1 gives me:

12K	./tmp
0	./sys
360M	./home
3.0M	./sbin
1.5G	./data
4.0K	./selinux
4.0K	./boot
24K	./root
4.0K	./mnt
1.4G	./var
4.0K	./opt
1.6G	./usr
4.0K	./dev
4.4M	./bin
4.0K	./srv
du: cannot access `./proc/465/task/465/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `./proc/465/task/465/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `./proc/465/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `./proc/465/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
0	./proc
4.0K	./media
5.3M	./etc
8.3M	./lib
44G	.

and df shows:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs            52428800  45304152   7124648  87% /
tmpfs                   524288         0    524288   0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs                   524288         0    524288   0% /dev/shm

How do I get my hdd space back?

Thanks a lot for any hints.
