How do I find out the disk space usage outside of what the indexes are using on a Linux VM?

I'm running out of disk space on my Splunk server. The server is dedicated only to splunk and nothing else is installed on it. It's a Linux VM. I'm getting disk space errors, but my indexes don't add up to using all the disk space?

It's a 475GB partition and my indexes are only using 278GB. So how do I tell what's using the other 197 GB of space?

Just something to note, I saw my disk space consumption grow quite large when I moved from 5.x to 6.0. However after upgrading to 6.1.2, the used disk space dropped back to normal. Don't know if this is affecting you, but we had some issues with it until we upgraded.

Thanks
