partition full (or not)

[shlomo solomon]

I´m getting disk full messages on /var. According to df, the / partition 
(/dev/sda1) is full, but du shows about 90% free space. Kdirstat also shows 
90% free. I tried booting from a live CD and the partition is only about 10% 
full.

Any ideas what´s going on here and how to fix it?



here´s a partial listing for df:

[solomon at shlomo1 ~]$ df
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              15G   15G   40M 100% /
/dev/sda6             495M   47M  448M  10% /boot



and here´s a partial listing for du:

[solomon at shlomo1 ~]$ du -x -c /                                 
14M     /bin                                                              
0       /dev                                                              
4.0K    /etc/hp
