Re: [SOLVED] / filesystem full. no idea why

That's only the apparent-size of /proc, which is a pseudo filesystem. It doesn't show a real disk usage (which is on /proc absolute useless). I will get the same when using ncdu and toggle with the 'a' key.
I guess the point will go to falconindy.
@RaisedFist: Boot your system (best in single user mode) and umount every block device mounted under / (/var, /home, /boot, /store, /backup)
Then look again with ncdu or maybe better:du -hxcd1 / |sortI think (like falconindy) that you will have data stored on the blockdevice of / which get later overlayed by your mounts.
You also could boot from an cd/usb an mount your / device and look then with df / du or whatever.
A corrupted FS is also better checked from an external boot medium.What filesystem do you user on / ?
Thanks for the advice. I'll do that later today... / is ext4

Re: [SOLVED] / filesystem full. no idea why
OK, so I'm the stupid one.. Somehow my /backup partition didn't get mounted and the backup script ran for a while filling the /backup directory mounted on /... This is a thing I should put in "stupid things I've done". This is solved. Thanks all for trying to help!
