df reports /var is 100% when it does have room free.

Hi,

I'm running RH7.2 with ext3 filesystem and when i run df, it reports that my whole /var is 100% when in fact there is room left.


root@bigmac [~]# df -k
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 1510060 1205192 228160 85% /
/dev/hda1 46636 5958 38270 14% /boot
/dev/hda2 3020172 581352 2285400 21% /home
none 123736 0 123736 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda7 14650180 14639032 0 100% /var




What is taking up the space? i've also run df -i to see if the inode table full but it is not.

Thanks,
edwin

14650180 divided by 14639032 is mathematically correctly rounded 1.00 = 100%. more exact: 0.99924

so it is nearly full.

solved.

there was a log file that filled up the partition and i suspect that i couldn't find it was because a program was still accessing it so it never came up in any of the 'du' or anything....
