Yes, I understand that and my intention was to find out which process is
eating space after you boot up.
I gave Ktorrent just as an example of apli. which makes gvfs to report
the size of data which actually is not there.
My assumption was that you may have some application running in the
background on you system with similar tendenci.
By the way, if you don't mind me take another shot in the mist, did you
check /media dir. (where sbackup files were, as you wrote) for any
hidden dirs?
And also: "gvfs reports root partition 100% full"
