Unfortunately this still continues to be a persistent problem for us. On another example system: # uname -a Linux <hostname> 4.14.67-ts1 #1 SMP Wed Aug 29 13:28:25 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux # df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid> 50G 46G 1.1G 98% / # df -hi / Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid> 3.2M 306K 2.9M 10% / # du -hsx / 14G / And confirmed not to be due to sparse files or deleted but still open files. The most interesting thing that I've been able to find so far is this: # mount -o remount,ro / mount: / is busy # df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid> 50G 14G 33G 30% / Something about attempting (and failing) to remount read-only frees up all of the phantom space usage. Curious whether that sparks ideas in anyone's mind? I've tried all manner of other things without success. Unmounting all of the overlays. Killing off virtually all of usersapce (dropping to single user). Dropping page/inode/dentry caches.Nothing else (short of a reboot) seems to give us the space back.
