I'll bet it's a process that has a large, unlinked file open (ie, it
created a file, used a lot of space, something deleted it, but the
process still has it open).
Try using lsof on some of your running processes and see what files they
are accessing. When the process dies (ie, you kill it, or maybe even
reboot if you can't figure out which one it is), the space will likely
be freed.
