Yes, I did reboot. I probably was rebooting my system every few days,
just because my Firefox seems to be interfering with my network
connection. And while I was learning the differences in a Debian system
(in contrast to Ubuntu), I also rebooted constantly, because I was
constantly messing up my system. For the past few months, though, my
system has been fairly stable, and I haven't been downloading and
installing new packages.
Right now the problems are: 1) my vanishing partition, 2) why Firefox
messes up my network connection, and 3) minor bugs.
Nowadays I might go a week or two without rebooting, unless I end up with
no space left on my root partition.
Well, i mean does reboot reclaim that lost space? You see one of a possible
reason for a "vanished" space are open deleted files. If some daemon
misbehave with cache or imporper log rotations, etc...

About a month ago, I had something like 2.2 gb free in
my / (sda1)
partition; then it went down to 1.5, then to 1 gb, then to 800 mb,
600, 400, 200, and now I am at about 165 mb, and sometimes it goes
down to 0. In all this time, I haven't installed anything new, or
done anything different.
I may have missed that but it seems no one have asked it in the thread -
did you reboot you system during this time or is it a continuous
uptime?
