[TriLUG] Data vanished from a partition?

[Alan Porter via TriLUG]

Good idea from William to check the mountpoint that's underneath the 
disk's filesystem*.  Also, do a "find" to see if something mysteriously 
got renamed to a hidden filename (like "home" to ".home").

* Many moons ago, there was a sysadmin where I worked who decided this 
would be a good place to hide his collection of JPEG images. Someone 
noticed that "df" reported a lot of used disk space, and he unmounted 
the disk to discover the hidden treasure.  Not a brilliant career move, 
but it taught me a lesson about looking under the rug for "missing" files.
