then i used this cmd

dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k2 -n

and it was shown at the bottom of the list (sorted by size)

i uninstalled it, rebooted and diskusage still showed 189M used. running the above commandline once again showed it was still there.

dpkg -L mplayer

returned that package mplayer does not contain any files?!

so, my question; how do you purge installed files sitting on rootfs?

I expierenced the same but never found a solution for it. First installed the (not optified) SVN2 or 3, then the optified version SVN4. Still did not regain the space, though :(

Yikes!
From kwotski's script, my apps have 323MB non opt usage. Conky shows I'm using 210MB of my rootfs. Does this mean the remaining 113MB of files are outside rootfs? If so, where? And more importantly, does it matter?

Sorry if these sound like a dumb questions. As you can tell my rootfs is almost full and I'm thinking of formatting/flashing/restoring the N900 to default settings. So I'm trying to figure out were I went wrong and what to avoid next time.

Yeah, there's something kind of puzzling about the root fs. It's supposed to be < 256M, right? And yet:

Probably something clever going on somewhere... :) I'd like to know myself!

It is a compressed file system. Part of why it might not be always faster than the 32GB internal flash drive.

Ok. I'm going to run the Perl Script on most of my suspicious programs..........

I'll add the results to the first post.

so far, not one used more than 8mb. where did my space go?
:rolleyes:

Maybe if i sum them up.....

If the problem was that you were thinking that mplayer wasn't properly uninstalled, your message shows that mplayer is properly uninstalled.
