No space on root after large move operation
 
Ok, so I tried to move 2.7TB of data from my /var/webroot/ partition (4.5TB total in size). I left it to run over night, this morning when I came to check I saw that all data on / paratition is used up and no operations can be done because of the "no space left on device" message.
Code:

I freed up several hundred MB from / but still the usage is at 100% and I cant free up any more space or complete the transfer ?

Where were you moving the data to ?
According to your listings, the only place big enough was the place you were moving it from.
I hope you have backups ...

If you can't log in as a single user and move the data back, you'll have to get a live cd and clean the root directory out like that. Put all the moved data back on the original drive.
