Could not find an answer in the archives, good explanations of what is
going on by Doug Barton but no hint on how to find the difference.

I have been monitoring the difference between
df  [Used storage on /var mount point]
   and
du /var

The difference in result is fine, but the difference is growing.  That is,
more and more of /var is being Used according to df, which apparently
shows the correct amount as it monitors the fs.  du is not telling me
where the leakage is occuring.

I assume if one can find the process that is doing this then the process
can be killed, freeing the space again from the fs.

Thanks in advance
Jeff
