It sounds like he downloaded distfiles before checking. |

Do you mean 1022k blocks to give 1GiB? Since each block is normally |
| 13 |
1KiB... |

One hypothesis would be that if you are running KDE while doing the |
| 16 |
upgrade, then the kernel can't immediately overwrite some of the 4.8.0 |
| 17 |
files with 4.8.1, because if you're still running the old 4.8.0 |
| 18 |
binaries, libraries, etc. in memory, they are kept around on disk |
| 19 |
until the processes using them finish (though during that time, all |
| 20 |
accesses to those filenames will reach the new versions). Once you |
| 21 |
log out / reboot, this old space will be reclaimed. I'm not sure how |
| 22 |
much this affects something like KDE that relies heavily on shared |
| 23 |
libraries. Of course if the space stays used then it's some other |
| 24 |
cause entirely. |

Also, this is tangental to your problem, but don't forget about |
| 27 |
"eclean-dist -d -f" if you want to clean up old distfiles :). |
