Operating Systems Linux Red Hat ROOT fs is full but no files consumed more space Post 302654385 by methyl on Monday 11th of June 2012 06:40:53 PM

Can you reboot the computer? This will clear any files which have been deleted while they were still open by a process.

Also check the root directory itself visually and look for rogue large files:
ls -ald /* | more
