Hello!
Om my main partition I usually have 17-18Gb used.
So the time came to do a little clean up... deleted some of distfiles, tmp's, etc...

the problem is that I didn't get any of my space back... :(
df -h output scares me...
Code:

main root # df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8              19G   17G  574M  97% /                   <---------
/dev/hda6             9.7G  3.7G  5.5G  40% /mnt/hd
/dev/hdd1             1.6G  1.4G  125M  92% /mnt/win_c
/dev/hda3             7.9G  3.5G  4.5G  44% /mnt/win_d
none                  109M     0  109M   0% /dev/shm


Do you have any idea about how I can fix it?
Thanks a lot

To see how much space is really used:
Code:
du -chsx /

This will exclude all filesystems that are not part of the root filesystem, including all mounts, dev, proc etc.

Then compare it with what df reports.
