in one server I do have a SSD raid 1 size 219GB.

If I do "du -sch * | sort -h -r" on /, I just have close to 3.5GB used ....
Any hints, what's eating up the space?
Deleted files (check out the output of 'lsof' and look for deleted files)? This happens a lot when your log rotation system rotates a log but the daemon logging to it isn't restarted or told to use the new log files.
Also, you could have sparse files (read the man page for 'du' under --apparent-size) that appear to be using more space than 'du' normally reports.
Hi, I checked your suggestions but still no clue what might be "wrong".
lsof reports just two DEL Files "sshd .... /dev/zero" and a du with --apparent-size shows the same result.
still wondering ... Regards . Götz
