I have seen some circumstances in which a large file, while consuming 
disk space, didn't show up in `ls -l` or in `du` while the process was 
running that was writing to the file. You may have to stop MailScanner
and other tools to have a chance of seeing where the big file is. In
the worst case, you'll have to boot to single-user mode, mount the 
disks in your fstab, and then examine them. 

Good luck!
