Why can't Ubuntu see any free space?






I have a hard drive that should have close to 40GB free. However, when I just restarted the computer, Ubuntu popped up with the notification stating that the drive has 0 bytes of space remaining.



When I run df -h I get the following output:



Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc5 721G 684G 0 100% /media/Storage1


As you can tell, 684G + 0GB != 721GB, instead I should have 37GB available.



Running fsck /dev/sdc5 showed that there are no problems and nothing was recovered on the ext3 mount.



Where did my missing 30GB go? How can I get them back?

Sounds like the 5% reservation for the root user. You can change that with



sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdc5


to 1% like in this example. If it is just a storage partition 0% should be OK too.
