Thanks folk I am convinced that the missing space is used by btrfs snapshot process. But WHY is the used space reporting on my daily driver LESS than that on the spare machine 29G vs 35G? The original install was the same .iso Ah well I could add some of the spare space the the / partition, but how much? Play safe and use the lot, making it 60G compared to 63G on my daily driver. (And create some free space off the data partition before it's too late.) Just as well I have time on my hands Again, thanks to all for your suggestions -- All the best Keith Bainbridge keith.bainbridge.3216@gmail.com +61 (0)447 667 468 UTC + 10:00
