If this turns out to be not the case:

- Can it be that MATE stores a large amount of data when it gets shut down
  and deletes the files after a new startup ?
  (The respective active /-filesystem's usage seems to be smaller than
   the inactive /-filesystem.)

- What does "du -s" tell about the mounted filesystems in both situations ?


Have a nice day :)
