Y'know, we've had this problem too, BUT we've never found a culprit, in
fact du reports completely different numbers than df. It's weird, I think
we broke something somewhere, but I can't figure it out. We're running
Redhat 4.2 with 2.0.29 kernel (upgrading the kernel doesn't help,
upgrading all the packages to 5.x is too much trouble at this point.)
