Everything is on the subject, using conky as a system monitor or scanning my file system with baobab (gnome utility) i see that my / partition has 7.8 GB of files but if i try to search "phisically" these files i can find only 5.5 GB...where are the remaining 2.3 GB?
The partition is formatted with XFS filesystem...
thanks
p.s. Baobab sees 7.8 GB but when i look at the files detail below this number i can find only 5.5 GB like i said before

what shows if you do the following at the command line
>$ df -k

Filesystem blocchi di 1K Usati Disponib. Uso% Montato su

/dev/sda2 125205652 17447956 107757696 14% /home
There are some words in italiana but i believe you know the layout of the output so it won't be too difficult to understand it.
However it seems that i'm using 54% of my root partition and this is 7.8 GB, 8.182.688 KB

try the following the "du -sh *" should show the distribution.
cd /
sudo du -sh *

voilà:
5,3M bin
18M boot
376K dev
7,2M etc
17G home
88M lib
0 lib64
0 media
0 mnt
3,5G opt
0 proc
13M root
14M sbin
0 srv
0 sys
24K tmp
1,7G usr
88M var
as you can see it gives nearly 5.5 GB...(excluding /home)

just spotted this, I haven't read it through in detail myself; probably worth a look.

maybe u have files that are X size but the filesystem stores them in X-n size as a matter of space and efficience.
I have several images where i've installed qemu virtual and look:
du *qemu
634M freebsd_qemu
391M netbsd_qemu
4,0K openbsd_qemu
[memo@amigopepe Desktop] ls *qemu -lh
-rw-r--r-- 1 memo users 5,1G ene 22 00:40 freebsd_qemu
-rw-r--r-- 1 memo users 1000M ene 21 19:56 netbsd_qemu
-rw-r--r-- 1 memo users 1,3G ene 7 02:11 openbsd_qemu
Are u listening?
