Hello
I just encountered something strange and do not know where to start to resolve it.
I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 series laptop with a 512 solid state HD formatted with the ext4 file system. There was 45Gb free space.
Suddenly programs complained not being able to save things anymore and when I looked the free space showed now as zero. I deleted some files and the freed-up space showed in Dolphin but while looking at it, it counted back to zero.
The only folder where the total free space still showed as 45Gb is the Trash folder. Everywhere else the space is Zero.
After restarting the system I was able to delete things and the free space was not swallowed. Still the space that disapeared earlier did not come back. Only when opening the (Empty) Trash folder still the amount of 45Gb shows.
Does anyone have an idea what happened? A solution? Or some guidance of where I can look to resolve this?
