Re: [pups] missing space in 2.11_rp_unknown - TUHS

Hi!

...
  From: Christian Groessler &lt;cpg(a)aladdin.de&gt;
 I'm running above image with the p11 emulator, and the root partition
 is almost full.

 # df
 Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
 root             7816     7030      786    10%    /

 but looking at files, I only see 2MB+ in use:

 # du -s /
 2702     
...
  This persists over reboots, so it doesn't seem to
be a large deleted
 file which is still in use. 
	It might be a corrupt freelist.   If that is the case then running
	fsck will detect that fact and reclaim the space by rebuilding the
	freelist.

...
  Where is the missing space? 
	My guess is it's "missing" - that can happen if the system's
shutdown
	(or the emulator terminated) prematurely.   In that case the freelist
	metadata might not have been updated.

	I see Greg mentioned running fsck.   That sounds like an excellent
	suggestion.

	Cheers,
