Hi all,

I recently made a new emulator image (r166 of devel-proposed [1]).  
This afternoon, I got a popup on it warning that I was nearly out of 
space.  The problem seems to be /home.  I've been downloading some 
files for testing, but I didn't think I had downloaded *that* much.  
From the terminal, I find:

> phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ df -h /home
> Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
> /dev/mmcblk0    4.0G  3.7G   53M  99% /home
> phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ du -h -d 0 /home
> 541M	/home

Now, I realize that df and du are measuring different things.  But this 
seems like a rather remarkable disagreement!  Is this a known issue?  
Are there any diagnostics I should run to figure out what's causing 
this?

Thanks,
Robert

[1] What is the currently recommended channel for those of us without 
BQ devices?  I used to follow devel, but that appears to have been 
abandoned.  devel-proposed is updated, but I assume not tested, so I 
don't know if this is a "real" problem or just a bad image.
