Description of problem:
I have a Linux box here which has been running for some time now. It's                                                                                          used for compilations, etc.. The problem I am having is that it seems                                                                                           that / is full but isn't really.

It's a one Gig                                                                                        partition. It shouldn't even be using half that.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I have started the system in single user mode and unmounted all                                                                                                 partitions in case there is anything hiding anywhere but I could not                                                                                            find anything.  


I did have a look at the messages file to see if                                                                                        I had any "File system full" messages. I didn't see any, but I did see                                                                                          this:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Sep 11 14:56:16 linuxserver kernel: kernel BUG at inode.c:384!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
not really reproducable as such, it just happens.


Additional info:
machine was upgraded from RH6.2 to 7.1. 6.2 did not have this problem. It's also running Clearcase 4.1 and has the mvfs kernel module loaded.
