Got it! Many thanks for all the help guys!There was a 4.9Gb tar of a system backup that had gone onto the /media/HERA folder instead of onto media/julian/HERA which is my NAS as it was supposed to. I'm going to blame user error for that one.. evidently in my newbieness I set the destination wrongly in the backup application.
So Mint wasn't wrong, I was.. predictably. What confused me was Mint's GUI Disk Usage Analyser which seemed to be claiming the problem was with Gandalf - I really need to sort these drive names out! - which is an entirely different partition :)
Anyway, problem solved so thanks all :) Julian -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
