One of our severs was reaching 95% usage capacity but df and du were giving wildly different figures for disk usage. JimT gave me the clue that du wouldn't see open files. When I checked with lsof there were a lot of files in the Apache logs folder that were "deleted" but were still open. Restarting Apache brought the figures back to normal.
