root partition full and du and df do not agree



I have a delima. My root partition is about 24Gb and it's full. The problem
is that I cannot figure out what is taking up the space. If I goto '/' and
run 'du -x' it says that about 500Mb are being used. This is about what I
would expect. Now If I run 'df' it says the partition is 100% full. Is
there any way to check for unlinked files which are taking up space or
something like that? I'm quite baffled here. This computer is running
sarge.
