  • Thank you for all your support. For the first point (lsof) I have 3 files (0 size). du -ih gave me 302K. The /tmp is rather "ligth" in size - BUT - I am having difficulties following your narative for this lead (my fault - I am not great with the linux ecosystem) so will try to read it very careful before excluding this part.

    Pointing me in the direction of mounted directories, I did found an anomaly of about 17GB. I have a mounted drive in disks directory UUID="5C9CE0249CDFF68C" /disks/w1 ntfs-3g rw,user,exec,uid=media,gid=media 0 0 - apparently my ssystem created a new directory /disks/w1a where it stored the missing disk space. Can't figure out why it created a new directory /disks/w1a/disks/w1/ but I guess is enough for me to restore my device. Thank you Oliver, if we ever meet, beer is on me :) Commented Oct 29, 2021 at 20:00
  • @AdrianTilita glad I could help :) I would be glad to go for that beer and chat about computer related shenanigans... but it may be difficult to meet : I live in France ^^ (your profile doesn't show your location either). Commented Nov 2, 2021 at 13:07
