The best way to see that is by running: df -h FWIW Fedora distros run this as part of the overnight logwatch report - I'd imagine Gentoo does something similar. If you don't want to login as root every day to read the system mail messages you can redirect the,m to your usual mail account. Add the redirect by editing /etc/aliases and then run 'newaliases' to update the aliases database. 'man aliases' describes the file format and how its used. Martin
