I recognize that in most cases du and df are not going to report the same but I am concerned about having a 12GB disparity. Does anyone have any thoughts about this or reason as to why there is a big difference? I have read a few articles online about it and none have really shown such a large difference.
du won't look at deleted files, while df will.
df does not look at files (deleted or not) at all! It just looks at allocated inodes.
run
lsof | grep deleted
and see if any files are deleted are still open, space from them will not be freed until the process releases the file handle.
