I am getting the error "No space left on device" when i tried to scp some files to a centos machine,
tried to check:
[root@...]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 18G 18G 0 100% /
And when I do
du -sh /
-> it gives only 5G
[... ~]$ df -i /
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01
4685824 209516 4476308 5% /
seems like file system is full. How can i find which one is taking these much size?

You can execute the following commands
lsof / |grep deleted
kill the process id's, which free up the disk space.
To list processes holding deleted files a linux system which has no lsof
, here's my trick:
pushd /proc ; for i in [1-9]* ; do ls -l $i/fd | grep "(deleted)" && (echo -n "used by: " ; ps -p $i | grep -v PID ; echo ) ; done ; popd
Maybe you are out of inodes. Try df -i
2591792 136322 2455470 6% /home
/dev/sdb1 1887488 1887488 0 100% /data
Disk used 6% but inode table full.
