It is probably not the case here, but you can have big anomalies in the
output of df and du if you have processes which are still holding open
filehandles for deleted files.

And I mean big. Big.  War story in the pub some other time.

As I say, this isn't the case here, but 'lsof' and 'fuser -m' are useful
here.
