du
If that comes back with nothing, then your problem is running out of inodes. You have too many small files.
Check with:
Try purging your thumbnails and see what happens.
Code:
du -s -d 1 /opt | sort -n
Check with:
Code:
df -i

here's the output of the first command:
The second command gave "invalid option -i" and adviused the only valid options were h, m or k

Sorry about the missing -i option, I forgot I was using busybox-power.
Your du output looks OK, leaving us with either a lot of small files or a file system corruption. Let's hope for the former.
Try:
I get:
Meaning, I have 9745 files smaller than 4 kilobytes.

/opt in Maemo is actually a bind mount to /home/opt so the slice that's full is actually /home (/dev/mmcblk0p2). The command I like to use to find where my disk space has gone is:
The -x option is needed so that it doesn't traverse MyDocs which is on a different slice. With this command you should be able to quickly identify the subdirectory that's taking up the most space.
You can also quickly identify large files in a particular directory with:
My guess would be that the rest of the space is being used by something under /home/user. Modest stores it emails under /home/user/.modest. If you're using a POP3 account it will quickly fill up.

Yes, a different way to skin the same cat. Starting in /opt makes sure you exclude MyDocs 
The OP has listed large directories. I suspect a lot of small files rather than large ones. Modest is a likely culprit indeed. Or WhatsApp.

The problem with your example is that if he has run out blocks rather than i-nodes (which is also a good theory by the way) then your usage of du doesn't tell us much because it misses out three quarters of the slice.

EDIT: OP, please try wicket's instructions too to be safe.

I installed ncdu and ran it from opt, after enumerating all the directories it says the total disk usage is 429Mb and the apparent size is 378Mb
How can I find where my missing 1.5 gigabyte went? (error messages appearing about device storage full, cannot save messages/contacts etc)
