Yesterday, when I noticed the disk fullness for the first time, I had 700MB "free space". After that I've deleted some files, there was 5GB free. But now, when I tried `dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/x.dat' to see, how many free disk space have I really, it became full at 1.3GB, I've lost 600MB in a day. Is there any explanation?
