I am having problems with Steam thinking my free space is less than it actually is. My partitions are set up as follows: /dev/sda5 (/) 1.7GB free /dev/sda1 (/vault) 99GB free Steam is installed in /vault/games/wine/steam. When I try to install a game from Steam, it says I only have 1.7GB free and that I need to clear out space. It should be reporting 99GB free. I also noticed the following: Code: grml at dalek:~$ winepath /vault/wine/steam /home/grml/.wine/dosdevices/z:/vault/wine/steam Is there any way to get wine to report the right free space? Thanks! -Brad

Just checking! Martin
Well I apparently had it bind-mounted to /vault. I fixed that so that /dev/sda1 is directly mounted to /vault. mount | grep vault Code: /dev/sda1 on /vault type reiserfs (rw) Steam is still reporting 1.7GB free. df -h | grep vault Code: /dev/sda1 140GB 44GB 97GB 31% /vault
I would paste a whole df, but it's going to be huge and just confuse you. I'm certain that /home/grml is on /, and that it has 1.7GB free. As far as the WIne drives: Code: grml at dalek:~$ ls -l .wine/dosdevices/* lrwxrwxrwx 1 grml grml 19 2009-10-18 09:55 .wine/dosdevices/c: -> /vault/wine/drive_c lrwxrwxrwx 1 grml grml 1 2009-10-18 16:23 .wine/dosdevices/z: -> / And I just realized now after pasting that... Z:\ is pointing to /, so that's why everything's screwed up. I pointed Z:\ to /vault, and it's working now. Thanks for the help, sorry for the confusion :/
