If the disk space is still in use, then the data is around somewhere. If you have 25GB free that you didn't have free before, then the data has been deleted and you'll need to either restore from backup or recreate it. It's also possible that you had a partition mounted there that you don't currently mount on boot. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program
