I have a server with at small disk of about 350MB. It keeps filling up and I
am having trouble tracking down the culprit. This is a FreeBSD 3.1 machine.

Using 'df -k' I estimated the available space at about 30MB a week ago.
Today 'df -k' reports 15MB avaliable.

Last week, I did a 'du -k -s' at / and today I did it again.

Here are the results:

I don't see a 15 MB difference.

What's going on?
