Further: KDiskFree shows /dev/sdd1 as being 1.9GB but only having 361MB
free. Could it be that the disk needs checking/fixing? Maybe it was
unmounted improperly once and has a 'ghost file' taking up all the
space. Is there a linux equivalent of scandisk I could run on it to
check? I'm just now trying a
$ sudo badblocks /dev/sdd1
and it's taking a long time and giving no output.
