Indeed...

On my updated 2.1 ASCII machine (with MATE desktop) and a lot of packages
installed, I have / with a total of about 9GB:

~~~
18M    /mnt/bin
29M    /mnt/boot
12K    /mnt/dev
13M    /mnt/etc
4,0K    /mnt/home
220M    /mnt/lib
5,0M    /mnt/lib32
4,0K    /mnt/lib64
5,6M    /mnt/libx32
16K    /mnt/lost+found
48K    /mnt/media
4,0K    /mnt/mnt
850M    /mnt/opt
4,0K    /mnt/proc
4,0K    /mnt/root
4,0K    /mnt/run
14M    /mnt/sbin
16K    /mnt/srv
4,0K    /mnt/sys
16K    /mnt/tmp
7,9G    /mnt/usr

So, this is strange...

Maybe checking disk usage as above could help.
