Hi all,
I posted many weeks back about a server I've got that's incorrectly reporting available space. I'll spare everyone the rehash except to say: I'd like it fixed, and I'd like to pay one of you smart folks to do it.
Have you rebooted the machine recently? You may have a file handle open to a file that's been deleted. This space will be reported as used until the all open file descriptors (to that file) are closed and the kernel is able to mark that portion of the filesystem as clean.
