Difference between df -k and du -sh

The problem: I receive messages that I cannot write to disk.

The symptoms:

df -h

  • Size 17G
  • Used 17G
  • Avail 0 Use% 100%
  • Mounted on /myFolder Other filesystems have reasonable space

du -sh /myFolder

  • 4.7G

Disk Analyzer GUI for /myFolder

  • 5.4GB

I also know that a few weeks ago Disk Analyzer and du reported 8GB in this folder. I've tried reading the man pages and a number of the du and df articles here and delivered by Google, but I don't know where my disk space has gone.

I am quite green when it comes to linux, so don't be afraid to dumb down your answers too much.
