Interesting:
gene@coyote:~/src/build$ type wget
wget is hashed (/usr/bin/wget)
gene@coyote:~/src/build$   

What the heck does that mean?
no extra charge:

file /usr/bin/wget

dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for

I don't recall seeing that go by.

How would that be diagnosed?

1T drive, not likely.

df -h grep sda
/dev/sda5       1.8T  291G  1.4T  18% /
/dev/sda1       922M  183M  677M  22% /boot

Diagnostic for that?
