Something has filled my hard drive completely (only 80 kb left!!!)

[Delta009]

Hi!

Murphy's law is against me today...
My computer crashed while updating to Hardy and I was about to back up things on my iPod (80GB).

However, something has suddenly filled the whole hard drive of my iPod. It's not a file : there is supposed to be only 34 GB of used space on my iPod.

It's some sort of invisible thing. :confused:

Here's a list of what I've done today that may have caused this:
* Updated the iPod's firmware, but not using iTunes
* Defragmented the iPod (but the process crashed)
* Modified the iPod's permissions using chmod

Any idea ?

Thanks !



I checked on my iPod, and the device confirms that there are 40 GB of free space on the hard drive. However, my computer disagrees.

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10/8.04 (it crashed while updating).

my external did the same thing when i forgot to unmount it it said it had no space even though it was empty and all i did was do a quick format or if that didnt work just format in windows and it worked,donno if this is the right thing for you but i though it pass on my pearls of wisdom :P
