There's a directory on our fileserver (Ubuntu Hardy) that takes up much more space than the files and subdirectories in it combined. I'm checking the directory size with "du" and file sizes with "ls -l" and I have no idea what's occupying the "phantom space".
I checked with lsof but there's no process with files open in that directory. Anybody have an idea what's happening here?
du --apparent-size
tell you?
