>Description:
Several months ago , I read the follow article, and add a 12G swapfile.
The article url is http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html
The swapfile is /usr/swap0 , and I have a swap mount which size is 2G.
top show:
Swap: 14G Total, 14G Free
Today , I use swapoff /usr/swap0 to disable swapfile , and then rm /usr/swap0.
/usr/swap0 was deleted, but its disk space can't release.
Now, top show:
Swap: 2048M Total, 2048M Free

/dev/amrd0s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
from , df -hi show /usr use 19G
but, du -csh /usr show use use 9.3G
Why there has a big difference size between df and du?
