[YLUG] RHEL connundrum with df and du

[Simon Alman]

I finally got permision to take the system down and check it out sans NFS
parititions. The problem turned out to be quite a few gig of stealthed
files on a NFS mountpoint (once the partition is mounted over it
effectively hides the files from the du command). Thanks to all those who
offered advice, it was very much appreciated and I'm a relieved man now
that this is fixed :)

Kind Regards

Simon
