Free space doesn't include space used by unlinked files, as far as I know, so
if df still reports 11GB free, it is maybe something else.

Possible options I can think of:

* the filesystem could be out of inodes rather than out of space. (Use 'df -i')
* blocks reserved for the superuser (5% by default on ext2/ext3)
