du -sh inconsistant with df -h

[Mike Loiterman]

This is strange. When I do:

[11:49:09 root@fat_man: /var]# du -sh
7.0M .



but when I do:



[11:49:18 root@fat_man: /var]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 97M 55M 34M 62% /
/dev/ad0s1f 1.7G 1.2G 403M 75% /usr
/dev/ad0s1e 19M 8.6M 9.2M 48% /var
procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc


Where are the extra 1.6 megs at?

I thought there must be a stray process running that had a lock on that amount of memory, but I couldn't find anything with top or via ps -aux. I use tripwire everynight to check file consistencies and I believe it's the problem, I can't figure out how or why. Rebooting the server fixes the problem and clears up the missing memory. ???

Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is the address I am subscribed with, but since my isp hasn't corrected my reverse dns problem yet, I can't post from that address to *@freebsd.org. Thanks!
