So I am having issues with my phone's storage. I've been trying to update Facebook but it fails every time with insufficient storage. However, when I go into Settings > Apps, it shows at the bottom that I have 55MB free. I'm on CM9. I'm posting a df from the device below.
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
root@android:/ # df
df

Hi,

not sure what ROM you run, but I run CTMod3.68/koumamod with data, and have had this problem with the "Zedge" app....... It showed there is an update available, so I downloaded it, then the app installed and at the end it said the same as in your case "insufficient storage" !!! Might be caused by a bug in the app itself, since like you, I have plenty of storage free.......

Try installing another app and see if that works.....

I know, not a solution, but I have no clue what causes that !!!
 
I get this problem periodicly with different apps. First Ill go into CWM and clear Dalvik cache. If that doesnt work, I uninstall the problem app then reinstall.
