This is indeed strange. I've seen situations where "du" reports more space than "df", when there's a separate filesystem mounted under another filesystem. For example "df" shows two filesystems, /mount_point of size 5GB & /mount_point/sub of size 6GB, and if you do a "du" of /mount_point, it shows 11GB, because it's adding up everything mounted under /mount_point. For some reason though, your situation is ringing a bell. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. Kurt -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
