Hello,
I have a 40 GB hard drive that I split down the middle (20GB
windows/20GB Linux). I set aside 11GB for /usr/local (/dev/hda3) and 2GB
for /usr (/dev/hda6). I have downloaded some large files (~1GB total)
onto /usr/local/ that should not have filled up its space but it did.
Here is the output of fdisk (clipped for length) and modified to include
the mount point.

Now, here is the output of 'df' run as root.

Here's the output of fstab

/dev/hda6 /usr ext2 defaults 1 1

So, can somebody explain to this Linux newbie why I don't have the space
on /usr/local like I think I do?
Thank you for your help,
Paul
