Here is (the most detailed) answer/solution of Darren Dunham:
-------------------------------------------------------------
I've seen similar behavior on '/' when there is a RT process with files
open on that partition. The only common RT process is xntpd. Do you
have that running? If so, shut it down and try again.
'ps -ecf | grep RT' will show those processes. RT in the 4th column is
a real-time process.
