[tahoe-dev] where has all my disk space gone

[stefan]

A *totally* wild guess, but this type of "where are those #! big files ??"
oddity reminds me of deleted files that are still open in some process - so
files aren't visible, but the space is still taken, until the process that
has an fd to them dies. Check that no tahoe process sticks around when you
stop it, maybe ?
