FWIW, for such a situation I prefer:
# du -hxa --max-depth=1 /
"x" keeps it on /, avoiding mounts like /home, etc (though in your case it
wouldn't help as you'd mounted over the directory which was using the
space). "a" shows files as well as directories. "--max-depth=1" does all
the stuff in the given directory -- shell globbing won't show hidden files
or directories. Change --max-depth to 2 for more detail. A total is
printed, so no math is needed.
