home partition full?

I have a really strange Problem and I hope you can help me.
Everything was ok, but as I tried to download the Wikipedia dump with wget he stopped at 14% and said: No space aviable. That was crazy because I have much space free on MyDocs. At the Evening I wanted to listen some Music but my N900 said that there no songs. I know that this happens when /home is full. So i checked it. /home was completely full. That was very strange because I didnt installed any Apps or something. I opened Storage Usage. He tells me that opt is 727 MB and user 148 MB. But 727 + 148 MB arent 2 GB! Where are the other MB's? Is reflashing the only option for me?

Re: home partition full?

If by any chance your MyDocs partition was not mounted, the files would be go right in MyDocs folder. To check this umount the MyDocs partition and check the content of MyDocs.

Code:

sudo gainroot

umount /dev/mmcblk0p1

du -ak /home/user | sort -n

This will list the largest files and folders in MyDocs last, so they will not scroll out of terminal buffer. If this is not sufficient please try the same du command o /home/user/MyDocs.
