oI see you have used du. I usually do
cd /
du -sk *
Since the 'h switches between K, G, M, I find it a little harder
to eyeball than picking just one of K, M or G. I also find the -s
more useful in a general situation than -dn since it gives a
good general summary.
The one thing I can think of would be some file that has been rm-ed
but not released by some process. The space will still stay allocated
until the file is released by all processes. A reboot can help that.
If reboot doesn't free anything up, then you have some serious digging
to do. Your / file system is quite large and you have most of the
usually culprits moved somewhere else. So, you should not need
anywhere near that much disk for /.
Good luck,
