Probably some process still has a file opened there. Check with lsof +d /log which it is. When found, restart that process to have it close the filehandle, and thus really free the space.
Background: in Unix/Linux a file is only really deleted when the last reference to the first inode is removed. If the directory entry for it is removed, but there's still an open file handle by some process, the inode is still in use, and the associated space isn't marked as free. du reports a different number because it counts only the files it can see, while df reports the free space as seen by the filesystem.

Hello,
in one default UFS filesystem we have 8K block size (bsize) and 1K fragmentsize (fsize). At this scenary I thought all "FileSytem IO" will be 8K (or greater) but never smaller than the fragment size (1K). If a UFS fragment/blocksize is allwasy several ADJACENTS sectors on disk (in a ... (4 Replies)
