the size of rootfs used space automatically increase.

Hi all.
Every time I start my arch,the size of rootfs used space increase continuously to 100%.
After reboot,the used size decrease to normal.
How could this happen?
Here is my information.Thanks for your answer.

Some application may generate huge logs that get removed on reboot.
Find out where does the free space disappear: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … y_Programs

Ahoy, just friendly heads up. Use "[ code ] [ /code ]" tags for code/console output to reduce clutter.

like so

What do you get for df -h when you first boot?

Re: the size of rootfs used space automatically increase.

and what if on my xfce4 netbook, filesystem usage is , well, strange to define...have a look to the screenshot!
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/13 … usage.png/
As you can see, df -h returns  that 31Gb are used, while baobab says that 28.8gb are used and that 32.6 gb are used...what???How can it be? Baobab says 2 different things!
And filesystem capacity is different too!
any ideas?
thanks!
