chances are you deleted file to bring it down less than
the 106%, but waht ever was accessing the files hasn't closed
them so df is confused.

you can kill/restart the processes that hold those file open
or you could "reboot" gulp..

it's something i'm not sure how to get it fixed, but that's the
situation that i've run into a few times.

If I type du -x ad0s1a shows up as having 49583 blocks used, but I have no idea where these are. I relatively new to the UNIX like environment and I don't know what to do to solve this problem. Could someone please help me???
