Can't figure out where MicroSD space is

We have lsblk showing the MicroSD disk, mmcblk2, essentially full:

Code:
$ lsblk
NAME         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk2      179:0    0  58.2G  0 disk
├─mmcblk2p1  179:1    0 213.6M  0 part
└─mmcblk2p2  179:2    0    58G  0 part
mmcblk2boot0 179:32   0     4M  1 disk
mmcblk2boot1 179:64   0     4M  1 disk
mmcblk1      179:96   0  59.5G  0 disk
├─mmcblk1p1  179:97   0 213.6M  0 part /boot
└─mmcblk1p2  179:98   0  10.7G  0 part
With df we get a similar story:
Code:
df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs        1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs           1.9G   99M  1.8G   6% /dev/shm
tmpfs           1.9G  9.5M  1.9G   1% /run
/dev/mmcblk1p2   11G  9.8G  201M  99% /
tmpfs           1.9G   48K  1.9G   1% /tmp
/dev/mmcblk1p1  214M  134M   81M  63% /boot
tmpfs           380M   24K  380M   1% /run/user/1000
But in fact, du gives:
Code:
$ sudo du -sh *
0    bin
134M    boot
0    dev
28M    etc
2.6G    home
0    lib
0    lib64
4.0K    lost+found
4.0K    media
4.0K    mnt
4.0K    opt
du: cannot access 'proc/4494': No such file or directory
du: cannot access 'proc/4497/task/4497/fd/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access 'proc/4497/task/4497/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access 'proc/4497/fd/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access 'proc/4497/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory
0    proc
3.3G    root
9.5M    run
0    sbin
4.0K    srv
0    sys
40K    tmp
3.5G    usr
442M    var

Your counting may be better than mine, but that doesn't look like much more than 10G.  At the moment, the OS complains of lack of space, which limits my ability to do much.  What am I missing here?
Any ideas much appreciated.

You need to expand the filesystem [SD Card] so that the OS can see all of its available space.
I'd google 'expanding SD card file system linux' and you'll find the info you need - I don't know the commands, but know this is normal behaviour. Simply have to expand the filesystem on your SD card.
