Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Hi. I opened this thread in Ubuntu forums with no luck at all. Hope
someone can give me a clue of what happens.

Recently, gnome has been warning me about low disk space, always less
than 1.5GiGs.

The problem is, baobab (disk usage analyzer) tells me that there are something like 50GiG free. I am sure that I have the free space ( I can write big files ) but the system keeps reporting low disk space. Even
Code:
df -h
looks wrong:


Code:
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1     ext4    221G  209G  638M 100% /
none      devtmpfs    2.0G  272K  2.0G   1% /dev
none         tmpfs    2.0G  1.9M  2.0G   1% /dev/shm
none         tmpfs    2.0G  328K  2.0G   1% /var/run
none         tmpfs    2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /var/lock
none       debugfs    221G  209G  638M 100% /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs
Wandering in some other thread, someone pointed out that some program may be deleting files ... but not closing them, and the offending program can be fount with
Code:
sudo lsof -s | grep DEL | sort -rnk 7,7
,which gives a wall of results like these
Code:
Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8573 /drm mm object
Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8572 /drm mm object
Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG               0,4                 8560 /drm mm object
Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8559 /drm mm object
Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8558 /drm mm object
Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8557 /drm mm object
Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8556 /drm mm object
Perhaps Xorg is having a very bad behavior?? What can I do to force it close the files , or whatever else that can give me back the hard disk space ... working is unpractical since most applications (gnome apps) think that there is no space left on the device.


My sistem is Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, with all the upgrades until today (proposed updates enabled)
