That depends. Is it btrfs? If so, well, I'd kick myself for using that in the first place, and proceed to rebalance it. Otherwise, I'd hunt down unlinked but open files using lsof, and deal with whatever caused extremely large, unlinked but still in use datafiles: "lsof +aL1 /the/filesystem" After the emergency is over, I'd deploy proper user quotas and reserved space, reduce/remove oversubscription, and add new storage space as required. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
