- Before anyone else writes me to tell me, I know about purge, and of
- the 60Meg that is missing, only 202K is used by deleted files.
- That's why I included the data from chkvol. (Reproduced Below).
-
- If anyone knows what else could cause a server to "lose" disk space,
- or what to do about it, please let me know.
-
- Thanks.
