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

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