[Voyage-linux] check/repair fs

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Sean,

Thanks for your suggestion, when running 'du -c' from / I get an enormous
list of files and then the bottom total is: '685472  total'

This is on a 2GB disk so it would seem that this 100% utilized disk space
isn't right and perhaps indicates a corruption issue, would you concur?

Cheers,

Rob

You can use the du command. It will tell you the size of all of the 
files and directories in a directory.
