FreeBSD Partition Size

ubuntu_ulysses

I have the following df -h output: /dev/mfid0s1d 9.7G 8.9G 28K 100% /var However, when I try to du -hs /var, I got this result: #du -hs /var 3.3G /var My question is, where is my 5.6G data? Or, maybe there's something I don't understand about freebsd? My server info: #uname -a FreeBSD blablbalba.example.com 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0: Sat Apr 10 04:13:38 WIT 2010 adminmail@blablabla.example.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

My sysadmin told be that du & dh something give a delayed result. Because, after several minutes, I check back and du did display right value.
