SOLVED



please see the bottom answer for my solution



After I use GParted to fix my partition(GParted ran well but my laptop shutt down because it ran out battery power and didn't finish the process copying my other partition, details),



I notice that I got 10GB increase in my Ubuntu partition, then I checked and found 1 suspicious file with size 140TB in /proc...



Is this a problem?





ubuntu 12.04 lts 64bit



UPDATE



I hope these details can help



sudo fdisk -l


OUTPUT



Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order


ADDED



I think the sudden increase 10GB in my Ubuntu partition is because unfinished GParted process, I currently have 27GB in used (when I right click in filesystem then check properties) , but disk analyzer says another thing(it says I am only using 12-13GB)

I don't think that 140TB kcore is a problem.



As gropiuskalle said in one forum: "/proc/kcore is an image of your RAM created by the Kernel to give you respective information, it's not actually a file you could delete but a virtual filesystem and it does not actually take harddisk-space."



Also, mine kcore has the same size as yours:

That doesn't mean you don't have other problem caused by an interruption of gparted.



Regards.
