My father in law's mac has an external LaCie hdd. In terminal, when I run df -h i get:
"/dev/disk1s6 233G 203G 30G 87% /Volumes/LaCie"
when i go to /Volumes/LaCie and i run du -hcd 1 i get:
"nxxx:/Volumes/LaCie mac$ du -hcd 1

The df utility shows that the mac is using 203GB whereas du shows the mac is using 77GB. What is consuming the other 124GB?
