Some times df -h shows root partition 100% full but it's not correct when we try du command it will show different for example check the below screen shot.
We need to find which is lock all the size for that you can use
du -sch *
this command will show the correct size of directories.
now we find nothing has fill the size the we need to check the deleted files cause deleted files which were still occupied by the PID we can find that with following command.
lsof +aL1 /filename
if filename doesn't show anything then use the same command to /
lsof +aL1 /
now it will show deleted files. We need to just kill the pid with kill command
kill -9 5996
and now check the size with df command
df -h
That's all
Note if I miss anything please command me to change my mistakes. Thank you.
