I'm having big problems trying to pin down the cause of spiralling disk usage on a partition. du -sh shows that /usr is using 5.9 GB: $ du -shL /usr 5.9G /usr However, df shows: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1f 47G 43G 131M 100% /usr [...] It seems to be eating 3 MB roughly every 4-5 minutes. However, repeated uses of du don't show any increased usage. It only appears in df. defiant:/usr$ du -cksmxL * | sort -rn 6042 total 3015 home 965 obj 777 local 770 jail 376 share 36 lib 32 X11R6 28 bin 19 libexec 15 sbin 15 include 1 tmp 1 ports 1 openssl 1 libdata 1 games 1 compat My first thought is that the du binary is compromised, but I thought that I may be missing something blindingly obvious.
