Comment 93 for bug 798414

Very helpful Mr. Ager-Wick

Its strange that partitions show up as /boot under, somehow under /dev/sda1.
I guess that makes sence but I also have a disk reported as
/dev/sdb1 /media/kit/UNTITLED
which is actually a portable disk tied in by USB connections. (kit is
another user)
/dev/null/ is about my level of usage for /dev at all. I shall work on that.
Is there, perhaps, something wrong with reporting usage that start with
/dev?
/dev/dm-0, or perhaps dm-O, shows 143G size and 72G used and I have no
idea where or what it's used for. It sounds like I might have a problem
there.
Currently:
/dev/sda1 236M 144M 80M 65% /boot
which will be OK for a while but I had no idea that it was a partition
rather than a simple directory. There is a real directory /div/ which
could also be handling it within the system. I assumed that while
deleting older entries and it worked with simple rm commands.
