Thanks to Greg Yates for suggesting fuser or lsof, but I don't have lsof
installed and fuser on the root produced too many processes to narrow it
down. Thanks to Phil Farrow for his reponse as well. Turns out that
things went from bad to worse as we started having network issues with
it too. As this was a test system, we went ahead and bounced the
cluster which cleared the process and freed up the space. I know it was
quick and dirty, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do when you
gotta do it.

Original message:

The results of a df -k / is showing that it is 97% full, yet the used
blocks and the available blocks do not add up to the total number of
blocks. I ran into this sometime back and thought I resolved it by
running quotacheck, but this hasn't worked in this case. I don't see
any processes holding anything open. A google search turned up very
little. Anyone have any quick ideas, please?
