Hi Greg,
Default file system for Ubuntu 10.04 is ext4 and I think it should have formatted your partition to this file system during installation. So I don't think it is an issue with the file system.

Hi fellow skunkers,
I have a big problem with my Ubuntu 10.04 which I installed yesterday (its running fine n perfect), on  a 49GB partition of my 160GB. My laptop HDD has 3 NTFS partitions I made with my W7.

Problem is, I was installing packages this morning to update plug-ins n just downloading stuff. Midway, I was warned that I hv only 322MB of free space. My next download stopped when I got a rude shock from a pop-up window claiming I had 0bytes of free space. DiskAnalyser pops-up but offers little help. The df -h commnad shows I have used only 8.1% of the Filesystem "/" meaning I still got 45GB free on that drive. I hv rebooted n W7 works fine as well, the disk partition is 45GB free!

What could be the issue? Is it because the partition is NTFS? What could also be taking up space? I need your 2cs on this.
