Why would du show 630k used by /tmp while df show 161M used
by /tmp?


# du -sh /tmp
630K    /tmp
# df -h
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a     94M     41M     45M    47%    /
devfs          1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/ad0s1e    193M    161M     17M    91%    /tmp
... remaining fs info removed

# uname -a
FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE

I have run fstat /tmp and can't find any files that are using
the space that df is claiming as being used.
