find out which process still has data open on the hard drive that is no longer visible in the directory tree
On my server, the rot partition is 73GB, but the disk says, it is full, although there are only about 6GB used on that device:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 997M 0 997M 0% /dev
tmpfs 202M 41M 162M 20% /run
/dev/mapper/p22server-root 73G 68G 655M 100% /
(I use LVM on the server: /dev/mapper/p22server-root -> ../dm-0
)
My guess is, that there must be a file still open, that is not visible in the file-tree. If I check with
ncdu -x /
I find out that the total usage is just 5.9GB. Maybe I have to search for "inodes"?
# du -csxk .
6661748 .
What does this show me? How can I debug this? I guess, that a reboot will restore the lost space, but rebooting is not possible right now.
