I have an odd disk ussage problem that I need some advice about. This morning I notices that one of my disks is full. I have 3 disks on a 10.4.10 Server machine with the boot disk named “disk0”. The finder clained that the disk was full, as did the df command:

truffula:~ root# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s9 234G 233G 0B 100% /
devfs 110K 110K 0B 100% /dev
fdesc 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
512K 512K 0B 100% /.vol
/dev/disk2s6 931G 654G 278G 70% /Volumes/disk2
/dev/disk1s9 234G 125G 108G 54% /Volumes/disk1
automount -nsl [209] 0B 0B 0B 100% /Network
automount -fstab [228] 0B 0B 0B 100% /automount/Servers
automount -static [228] 0B 0B 0B 100% /automount/static

After running du

truffula:/Volumes/disk0 root# du -hd 1
16K ./.Trashes
2.0K ./.vol
7.2G ./Applications
1.5K ./automount
3.5M ./bin
16K ./cores
2.0K ./dev
3.2G ./Developer
0B ./Groups
3.8G ./Library
44K ./Network
21M ./opt
5.2G ./private
2.2M ./sbin
1.6M ./Shared Items
1.6G ./System
63M ./Users
16G ./usr
975G ./Volumes
1012G .

the thing that jumps out at me is /Volumes sitting at the level of /Volumes/disk0/Volumes. Running ls shows:

truffula:/Volumes root# ls
.DS_Store HOME disk0 disk1 disk2

which is what I expect and correct, but

truffula:/Volumes/disk0/Volumes root# ls
.DS_Store HOME disk0 disk1 disk2

makes no sense. It is like there is a second copy the directory “Volumes” at the level of /Volumes/disk0/. However, there should not be room for a second copy of /Volumes there anyway since the entire disk0 is 234 G in size. and according to du -h, the directory Volumes is 975 G.

Anyone have an idea as what is going on?

Thanks in advance
