Xserv missing HD space

Question

I have a Xserv running 10.6.8 and it has a total HD space of 2TB. (This is an Open Directory Server.)

It shows that I only have 122GB of free space.

I have manually added up all folders (includig hidden folders), and only come up with 56GB of used space.

My question is where is my 1.8TB of space?

I also used Disk Inventory X and it also shows only 55GB of used space. Where is my 1.8TB of space?

How did you calculate and evaluate the storage? The df and du -s tools? Or some other tools?

Also verify the volume.... Boot from distro and use Disk Utility to verify the volume structures.

Well I think I found were the space went.

When logged in as an admin user it does not calculate all the OD user accounts.

When I logged in as Root it then calculated all the data for all the OD user accounts.

So I found were all the space was being used.
