memory allocation for ext4 file system
I am using Ubuntu Natty Narwal 11.04 along with my windows 7 in dual boot mode. I have been used 68 GB for my Ubuntu OS in the hard disc. I want to know the how much memory is consumed by each directory under the root and how this 68 GB is allocated to the whole file system.
I want to know the which is the safest place to store my actual data(i.e. my personal data that is not related to Ubuntu OS). Why i am asking is that my desktop has been crashing when i try with some other alternative desktop and the content on the previous desktop is losing at that moment.
For the sake of your clarity i am providing my partition table here;
