Can't find disk usage in one directory
- by Xster
Similar questions are asked frequently but no suggested answers solved my issue. I have some disk space usage that I can't find as well.
In df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 144183992 136857180 2652 100% /
udev 2013316 4 2013312 1% /dev
tmpfs 808848 876 807972 1% /run
none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock
none 2022116 76 2022040 1% /run/shm
overflow 1024 0 1024 0% /tmp
I checked the inodes, I checked lsof for +L1 or deleted files, I rebooted, I checked for files hidden behind mounts but none of them were the issue. It grows periodically and I'm running out of things to delete to feed the beast. It's all in the home directory of the only user I have.

124G .
I can't find a way to figure out how it got to that 124G in that directory. There are no mount points in home.
