Can you run:

du -sh /space
3 
{root}/>du -sh /space
  52G   /space
{root}/>

I didn't understand anything!:confused:

It is possible that some big file(s) were deleted while they were (and are) still used by some application. Do you know if any applications are using files from that filesystem? If they are try restarting them.

Further to bartus11 , the fuser command can tell you which processes have files open on a filesystem - even if you cannot see the files.

A tidy shutdown of all applications followed by a reboot should give you the true disc space.

If you have cleanup routines which delete files, they may need review to make sure that they do not delete files which are open by an application.

Restarting the applications is sufficient. While it would work too, reboot isn't necessary.

Good point. Check the free space once there is no process attached to /space .
If you still have an issue or the process is a zombie, reboot. It has worked for me in the past.

8

on an unrelated note I strongly suggest you remove the > character from your root prompt(PS1 variable). It is all too easy to copy/paste and accidentally truncate a file accidentally.

its done after rebooting. :b:
