>Description:
The daily output's Disk status showed that the /var used space increased daily. This isn't usally so, since we have logs, it increases 1-2 % daily for a couple of days and then (when ziped) decreases back to the original size. When running df -k or df -h we got this result too, something like this:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 1372527 928151 334574 74% /
/dev/ad0s1e 372079 110213 232100 32% /var
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
but when doing:
#du -ks /var:
65982 /var
(which doesn't match!!) <--- this is the one that's right
Not knowing how to solve this, we used the "solution windows": rebooted. Now they're ok, they both show:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 1372527 928357 334368 74% /
/dev/ad0s1e 372079 66073 276240 19% /var
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
#du -ks /var/
66070 /var/
>How-To-Repeat:
just sit and wait, it happended a couple of times.
