Subject: Possible 2.6.23 regression - Disappearing disk space
Since updating my laptop to 2.6.23, occasionally all of my free disk
space on my root partition will just go away, with no files accounting
for the space, with no odd messages in dmesg or my syslog. If I
reboot, I immediately have the proper amount of free space again. Here
is the output of a du -sx * on /, and the output of the df command
when the problem is occuring, followed by the same info after a fresh
reboot (literally just did the command in the failed state, then
immediately rebooted and ran the same commands again) - any thoughts
as to what might be happening?
As a note - when I first see the issue, I have exactly 0 free space
available on root, as per df - I then delete some random things in
order to have enough free space to operate, which is why in my first
df you see 55M available
Prior to reboot (with issue occurring):

As you can see, the du -sx * gives virtually identical used space
(which adds up to about 26G, in both instances), but df thinks that
there is no free space available, and I can't write anything to disk
(I get a disk full error).
Attached is output from lspci -v, and zcat /proc/config.gz
Thanks!
