klaruz at garfield:~$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              36G   28G  6.5G  81% /
/dev/hdg1              53G   44G  7.7G  85% /home/klaruz/abyss
/dev/hdc1             113G  100G  8.2G  93% /home/klaruz/chasm

The chasm is a 120 gigger using ext3. The rest of the space is lost to 
formating. It takes space to store the information about what files go 
where. Don't worry, it's normal.
