[ydl-gen] Free space is missing (du, df and HFS plus file system)

[rev rob]

I know this may sound silly but, what are the other partitions of the
drive. Could the missing space be there?
 Need to know?
as root try pdisk
 "pdisk  /dev/hdc"
then
"pdisk -l"
This should show you what partitions are on the drive as well as the
size of each.
 I just learned a little bit of "pdisk". So this is why I ask.
  Hope this helps a lil bit, as it were.
