I have a machine here where df shows a mount point being 100% full. However, when you do a du -h it shows that only 1.1G of the 5G is being used.

You might try to run the following command to find deleted files that have not been released by a running process:

$ lsof | grep -i deleted

Look for a large file or set of files. Then you can track down the process that has that file handle open and kill it to free up the disk space.

If all else fails, it might be worthwhile to reboot in a pinch to just get the box back up and running but this should be a last resort.
