The other day I tried to upload a largeish (10gb) amount of music onto my N900 and to my understanding I had heaps of space left on the main partition (32gb). Ubuntu told me there was not enough space left on the device for this amount of data.. On closer inspection there is something weird happening. When I view the devices properties it says:

Contents: 2,563 items, totalling 5.6 GB

Free Space: 3.9 GB

23.1 GB used

3.9 GB free

This is the same when viewed on the device through settings..

To my understanding this is not a rootfs issue, my root fs is 66% full at one hundred and something mbs. I did have extra repositories setup but have since disabled them.

In the terminal I have gone through and check the folder size of all the main file-system folders, nothing showed anything over 1gb..

I am really confused.

Could anybody shine some light on this for me?

Thanks in advance!!
