Thanks for all the suggestions. The dead links (lsof | grep deleted) is
very interesting - I have 49 of them, which seems bad, mostly /tmp files
from a
"gnome-terminal -ssh XXX.YYY"
which are all 3Mb. However, this is only 150MB, I am hunting for 30GB.
Rebooting should remove all such, and makes no difference.
Chris Smart asked what 'du' I had tried. 'It was 'du -sh'. Note that it
agreed well with baobob so I thought that made it trustworthy.
Any more ideas? I guess I could copy the filesystem contents to
another disk and back, I have the space for that, but it seems a little
over-the-top. And it may well come back...
