    Ext2/Ext3 filesystems have a percentage of space reserved
    for emergencies.  You can change the percentage with
    "tune2fs -m number".  You can do this safely at any time,
    even when the filesystem is mounted.

IIRC, the default is 5% for Root use.

728G  699G     0 100% /

but that should be about 37G as per your df -h posting (half of 10% of 728G)

I suspect that is your issue.

HTH.
