My /etc and /usr don't add up to the size shown for the root filesyste

My root filesystem shows as 5 GB but /etc and /usr only add up to 3.6 GB.

Where might the un accounted space be taken up?

More details required e.g. whether /home and /var are separate partitions.

Anyway, have you tried du?

Try this:

du -h --max-depth 1 /
