On an FC3 box there is 17G ext3 filesystem in a LV mounted as /.

/home and a couple of other specific things are in other LV's mounted 
under /. I've unmounted them so that / & /boot is left mounted

A couple of days ago my regular log file said...(as it has for months)

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 17G  4.4G   12G  28% /

Now it says 

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 17G   17G     0 100% /

Totaling up the contents of the directories in / with 'du' I can account for 5.1G's worth. So where has over 11G's worth of stuff, that I can't find, come from? Especially as the system has not been changing. Well I 

Any ideas

Ken
