Yep, that's it. But *any* file that is created in home and fills the space would have the same result (for example some stuck copy routine or (I got that too) a video capture software that (as most do) uses ~ as temp directory.
That's why I avoid the one-partition-for-everything solution. It's easy to link other partitions to home directories.
This monster indeed grows and grows and I have not yet found the culprit. Solution: a cronjob daily just before I shutdown the system with [rm -f .....] and the spook is gone.
Well, mine is only a few KB (today) and seems to be recreated at boot. I did not do anything. I don't think this is a TDE stuff, so maybe it depends on the distribution settings (MX-Linux here).
