Try comparing the output of:
du -sh /var/log/httpd
and:
df -h /var/log/httpd
If the condition that Michael is talking about is occurring:
"If you have deleted files that a process has open, they still take
up space until that process is ended, but du won't see them. "
You'll see the space discrepancy when comparing the output of the two
above mentioned commands. (df measures filesystem blocks, while du
adds up space taken by files as listed in the inode table. Deleted
files that were being used by a process will not show in the inode
table, thus du won't include them. df will notice that the reserved
filesystem blocks held open by the process.)
Try restarting httpd, if that doesn't help, use fuser to determine
what process may still be reserving filesystem blocks.

It sounds like you have some apache configuration fault that is
resulting in out of control logging. I suggest you examine the logs
and work out what the root cause is.
all ok for 1-2 hours, now again disk full, but du says its ok
du adds up the sizes of the files it can see. If you have deleted
files that a process has open, they still take up space until that
process is ended, but du won't see them. Probably it is also worth
forcing an fsck of the file system, just to be on the safe side in
case the problem is due to disk corruption (though this is probably
unlikely).
