I notice we our file just use 9776k filesystem space but "df" told to me we used 403883k, why ??????? and more when I move all files and direcsoties to /usr/var and rm -rf /var, leave /var just nothing, and df still told to me nearly 400M, ever bad, I notice the usage incease slowly by about 8k between few seconds.
