Came into work this morning to find out that my disk is full. I have a total of 16TB's of storage and am using less then 1TB (in total) of data.
While looking into this I realized that I have encrypted my home drives, which is cool and all, but it seems that ecryptfs is displaying a lot of storage space.
Looking into this I found the following bug report about how the data is displayed incorrectly. Looking further into my inodes, and my data I come up with the following information:

Please note that /mnt is a complete separate hard drive that is used for storage and backups that is mounted on the filesystem
How can I figure out what is taking up all of my data, and how can I fix this issue?
Simple Disk Usage Analyzer called baobab has never failed me on such a simple thing, maybe you should give it a shot.
