Hi folx.
It looks like this :
after system start "df" shows some 24% usage at /
If you'll run df regularly ( say every 20 minutes)
it will show you that there less space left every time
you run df - like 2-4% per 30 minutes.
But if you run du - THERE IS nothing at / which consumes
disk space and there is NO CHANGE of space used at / .
So you'll end up with 100% used / and you have to reboot.
After you run fsck on / - it will CLEAN the filesystem
out , so it will go back to 24%.
It looks like the kernel is losing blocks at / .
This is SNAP 021095 , Gateway 2000 PCI Bustek SCSI-2
128Mb of RAM.
I've upgraded to the latest SNAP two days ago and I
didn't see the problem with last SNAP I used ( 020295).
Please , personal E-mail if any1 here has any clue
( I'll repost the solution , if any).
No other problems mentioned :)
