One more "Where did my space go"
OK, so here is my story. I've run through several similar posts here but none seems to answer my question.
I have a MacBook Pro late 2008, Core 2 Duo, with 250GB HDD, partitioned in 2 disks, Macintosh HD with 150GB and "Jobs" with 100GB Mountain Lion.
A couple of weeks ago I've received a message saying Macintosh HD was full and the file I was trying to, could not be saved.
Did the basics, empty trash, delete or move some files around (I have 4TB in external disks) and made 33GB room at Macintosh HD.
But I still believed that something was wrong. Did some "get info" and Äbout this Mac" but there was some spacing missing.
Found some articles, like "Where did my space go?", follow the steps, log files, restart, disk utility repair, look for local snapshots, false volumes and ran OmniDisk Sweeper (Image attached). Also changed permission on Guest account and it is not using space at all.
Still have no idea where could possibly be the missing space.
Since OmniDisk Sweeper has user limitations, I activated the root user and started an assessment using linux command line to do another space check. And bellow are the results.
Bottom line, I've found almost 80GB of used space if I sum all folder results on / running du -h command (list bellow).
80GB are close to what OmniDisk Sweeper is showing for Macintosh HD but not if I look to Disk list.
On the other side, get info Mac OS is showing almost 120GB used as OmniDisk Sweeper Drive list window.
Linux also shows df -h 118GB used.
Ok, I'm lost. Someone could help? What could possibly be the reason for the difference in used space?
Is there a way to see what is using this space?
