	Hi folx.

	It looks like this :
	after system start "df" shows some 24% usage at /
	If you'll run df regularly ( say every 20 minutes)
	it will show you that there less space left every time
	you run df - like 2-4% per 30 minutes.
	But if you run du - THERE IS nothing at / which consumes
    disk space and there is NO CHANGE of space used at / .
	So you'll end up with 100% used / and you have to reboot.

	After you run fsck on / - it will CLEAN the filesystem
	out , so it will go back to 24%.

	It looks like the kernel is losing blocks at / .

	This is SNAP 021095 , Gateway 2000 PCI Bustek SCSI-2
	128Mb of RAM.
	I've upgraded to the latest SNAP two days ago and I
	didn't see the problem with last SNAP I used ( 020295).

	Please , personal E-mail if any1 here has any clue
	( I'll repost the solution , if any).


	No other problems mentioned :)
