Re: disk usage problem
looks like someone removed a file (or directory) while it was beeing accessed...
Try to umount and mount it again...
All the best

Re: disk usage problem
Since du reads the directory structure, if the account that does the du cannot read a directory, it counts as 0 bytes. Thats why it may be showing less used space in du output.

Re: disk usage problem
Thank you very much for your prompt responses. I am trying to unmount /source but could not due to "device busy". I ran lsof +D /source +L1 as suggested in thread provided by Ivan, the lsof output has too many open files. I don't know which one I should unlink. I am trying fuser right now and see what happen.
Thanks,
TUan

Re: disk usage problem
download lsof or the latest fuser command.

run lsof/fuser against the filesystem, with a bit of luck you will find the process keeping the diskspace allocated, kill it and the space will return.

Robert-Jan

Re: disk usage problem
The issue is solved. Just like all of you suggested, it was a temporary file that cause the problem. I kill that program. Everything looks good now.
Again, I thank you for kindness and your help. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
