No, i have more than 2gb free on /deposito and less than 1gb on others 
partitions.

yes, i can normally write to those partition with any linux program, both as 
root and user.
Please note, my wine programs CANT write to fat partitions even if i am ROOT 
(not exactly, some installation programs can write... but most of windows 
programs cant)
