Alright, I've been using Debian for ages, and never ran across something like this. It makes me wonder if it is affecting other programs on the system as well. I installed GCC tonight and in the process it had to upgrade libc6. It upgraded properly, and when it finished I rebooted the machine just to play it safe. After it came back up I checked my free space and got this: Primary:~# df -ah Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 -405370878767k 1.0k 0.0k 9% / proc -0k 0.0k 0.0k - /proc /dev/hda2 -136628747263k 1.0k 0.0k 21% /var /dev/hda3 -1900499642371k 1.0k 0.0k 48% /home Clearly, the size is being reported wrong. Prior to the upgrade of libc6, it worked fine and reported in megabytes. I tried using "df -ahm" and it reported negative megabytes. I even went as far as upgrading everything on the system using apt, and the problem still exists. Is there a fix for this or is it time to find somewhere to store /home, then format and reinstall?
