• Triaging a full Linux disk: df, du, deleted-but-open files and the journal

  A full filesystem can be full on space or on inodes, and space held by a deleted-but-still-open file will not show up in du. This methodology walks the checks in order — df -h, df -i, du -x, lsof +L1, and journald vacuuming — before anything is deleted.
