edwin chan <slack@suntop-cn.com> asks: df reports: > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/da0s1e 1016303 403883 531116 43% /var but du reports: > 9776 . an application may have a log or temporary file that has been unlinked from the filesystem but is still open in the application. the file wil not be listed by du or ls, but does not release it's contents until the file is closed. This is common when log files are rotated and deleted, but the "reload" instruction whas not sent to application. Terminating the application will clear up the missing space. --mark tinguely.
