Question:  The “df” command shows that the file system is 100% full, but “du” shows no files in the file system.  Why, and how do you debug this?
Answer:  A running process is holding open a file descriptor that references a large amount of space either not saved as a file or references a file that has been deleted.  Use “lsof” or “fuser” to track down this process.
