Does /dev/sda5 have a btrfs filesystem on it? Type "mount" and look
for the "type" part. If so, these problems are common with btrfs;
see btrfs wiki and/or linux-btrfs mailing list:

    https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Help.21_Btrfs_claims_I.27m_out_of_space.2C_but_it_looks_like_I_should_have_lots_left.21

If not, could be things like deleted files that are still open (see
"lsof" output, look for "(deleted)". Or maybe ran out of inodes. See
"df -i" out to check that.

Cheers,
Andy
