I suggest, for next time
that you do
touch -t 200603241200 /home/xx ( or specify a date of the day prevoious
the problem began ( or an hour before, your choice )
then

find / -newer /home/xx -ls
son you will have a list of files NEWER ( or modified ) since the date
indicated witch touch
:-))

Wrong again, n00b. "mc" is for those fucking idiots who don't know *how*
to use the CLI, such as yourself.

In anticipation of your followup post to this:
When I want some lip from you, I'll scrape it from my zipper.

n00b.

Interesting, I've never had a problem with slrn or firefox, I do sometimes
see old files from pinfo which I use in place of info...never anything of
significance from fluxbox...but I'm not a big X user. I prefer
the little toys that children use...you know **LIKE MC!**

Didn't mean it as a joke, but apparently two people saw it as either a
joke or a slam. mc is a sweet little app that just doesn't do what I
need to do. It was a life saver in my early days, but it isn't
scriptable like emacs. I can't run slrn and a whole bunch of other
things in it like I can in GNU screen. It doesn't offer me any more
power or any more short cuts than bash can. It just doesn't work for
my needs. Great thing about *nix is that you aren't forced to do any
one task via any one method. If the default or your favorit method
doesn't work for your needs then you can create a new way of doing it,
even if it is only for one task to be one time.

Why the <g>? Faux_Pseudo is a goof. Anyone who claims that they
use CLI but is too fucked up to use mc is a _real_ goof. There is
no need for any <g> when dealing with them.
Oh, but wait! Our bad! You're a _real_ fucking goof as well. <g>
is probably the secret handshake!

In any case, mc is a clone of the old Norton Commander, not xtree,
as any old dos guy will be able to tell you.

cordially, even to the worst of the trash,

rm

There is an app named "filelight" which I have used to find what's hogging
space. It shows everything I need to see.
Should be able find it with google.

Maybe tale a look in /var/log and see if there's some monster log file
being written to.

That's my take also

Also, I think there is a better way to restrict 'du' to a single mount
point than --exclude..check 'man du'..

the output not matching is suspicious.
