to kill any process on a filesystem
#fuser -ck /opt
du shows you the disk usage in each subdirectory. To get a list of subdirectories in a filesystem, cd to the pathname associated with that filesystem, and run the following pipeline:
$ du | sort -r -n
Sometimes applications keep file descriptors open, this results in the space
remaining allocated even when the file is deleted. When the application
closes the descriptor, the space is freed.
This is most evident when applications are logging to a file, I have several
applications that do this. When moving/removing the log I have to restart
the application for the space to be freed.
