Howzit Folks?

I did a kernel upgrade in openSUSE 11.2 which caused bootchart to fill the root partition or so it would appear as when I rebooted I started getting messages on the console saying bootchartd could not write because the device was full. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!

Let me begin by describing my system:

Partition table:
fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00083a53

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 2612 20980858+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 2613 15666 104856255 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 * 15667 15927 2096482+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 15928 60801 360450405 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 15928 59756 352056411 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda6 59757 60801 8393931 82 Linux swap / Solaris

Relevant fstab entries:
/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/mapper/vg1-home on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/mapper/vg1-opt on /opt type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/mapper/vg1-srv on /srv type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/mapper/vg1-tmp on /tmp type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/mapper/vg1-usr on /usr type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/mapper/vg1-var on /var type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/loop0 on /srv/ftp/openSUSE-11.2-x86_64/DVD type iso9660 (ro)

As you can see from the partition table I have 2GB allocated for the / partition and according to the df command there is 0 free space but du -hx shows / is only using 405MB. What's happened to the almost 1.6GB that should be available?

I'm absolutely stumped any help appreciated.
