Linux boxes typically reserve the last 5% of volume space for use by root only, so as far as your normal user is concerned, the volume is in fact full.

You need to be careful with commands that descend into /proc like that, because its contents changes rapidly.  Here, you’ve seen that PID 3662 disappeared between the time your * glob was evaluated and the du command actually tried to run on it.

Your du -x argument says restrict to a single filesystem, but that is evaluated per FILE argument, so it doesn’t prevent du from walking off the LVM and into /proc.  To do that, you’d need to say “du -hsx /”, but then you don’t get the results you want.

Instead, I’d recommend just explicitly listing the most likely pigs: /usr, /var, /home, and /etc.

I see about 16 GiB.

24 - 16 = 8, which sounds suspiciously like the size of a swap file.  What does mount say?
