From the ext3 FAQ (http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html):
Q: 'df' command says partition is full, while 'du' reports free space
Theodore Ts'o, the ext2 developer, said:
The standard cause for this is some user process keeping a deleted file open.
To find the process in question, heres a trick using "lsof" (do it as root )
/usr/sbin/lsof -n |grep delete -
HTH, HAND //Spider
Thanks for the lsof, but he ditn't find any big file. So some more details.
FS is ReiserFs.
I'v got a ' no more Diskspace ' while coping with a wrong destination
That was at a time where the system wasn't mountet correcly.
Had insert a new SCSI disk between scda and scdb, so scdb moved to scdc and after mounting
all this I meant to copy from scdc5 to scdb5 and scda11 had no more diskspace, I could free 20 M from /tmp
After no finding the big one , I shut down and had a look with Knoppix
but could find anything.
