lv_root issue. no space, but nothing taking it up!!!!
I am getting a weird issue with my lv_root... df reports that it is full,
[root@server /]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg_server-lv_root 51475068 51458684 0 100% / <snip> however this tells me (apparently) different... [root@server /]# du -cks * | sort -rn | head 5972854 total 2880304 usr 2120924 home 545984 var 269208 lib 62386 boot 39376 etc 27576 lib64 14740 sbin 7988 bin I am interpreting that is 5GB in use?... but 50GB is full... what am I missing here? |
A process is holding deleted files open, so they will show in df but not du. Easiest solution is to reboot. If that's difficult, you can use lsof to find what process(es) has deleted-but-still-open files, then restart just that process.

oh well, a reboot fixed it, but I was in the middle of reducing my home mount from 215 gb to 65 gb so I could give that space to lv_root...
buuuuut lvreduce cratered the file system.... yay... I really appreciate the help |
Whew!!!.. doing an Lvextend for the same amount, and an e2fsck afterwards shows that it was just fine....
maybe using lvresize is a better options I hear... |
