Thanks for the suggestion, but '-s' is not an option recognised for 'df'
on my system.
The output from 'df' is as follows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 3.5G 3.5G 24K 100% /
/dev/hda1 92M 26M 61M 31% /boot
/dev/hda10 67G 4.1G 63G 7% /copies
/dev/hda6 40G 31G 9.0G 78% /home
/dev/hda11 20G 15G 5.0G 75% /photos
/dev/sdb1 1.4T 15G 1.4T 2% /photos_and_backups
/dev/hda9 9.8G 35M 9.8G 1% /tmp
/dev/hda7 40G 6.1G 33G 16% /usr
/dev/hda8 9.8G 248M 9.6G 3% /var
As you see, partition /dev/hda5 mounted on / is supposedly 100% full.
However, 'ls -aghS /' gives this result:

from which you see that less than 100K of / is actually being used.
Where is the rest tied up?
