Just today, my Ubuntu 11.04 started prompting me that my HDD is full ... I know I am filling up my HDD fast, but its the storage partition I expect to be filling up not my 60+GB OS Partition. So I did a Disk Usage Analysis and got the below:
/labs
is actually the Storage partition
First, my home folder /home/jiewmeng
is said to use 58.8GB? but the biggest few files, don't appear to sum up to that? Counting quickly, it looks like ~1.5GB only?
Looking at the 2nd image, my HDD doesn't seem to be all that full at all? Is it a mistake?
