OK, now for some answering. Do you have file descriptors open to files you have deleted? Check with ps if you have vi's, tail's, less's open for old files, or files rotated long ago. Check with fstat if that happens. Files that are open when unlinked are not removed from the filesystem until the last handle is closed, even though they don't show up in df and du. Check for daemons that use huge tempfiles (unnamed files) If all else fails, try a reboot, that will make sure all files are closed. See if you still miss 20Gb Mark -- Nice testing in little China...
