    Hello Managers,

    On a Production V240 running Solaris 9 I came across the following:

    [itl-app2]/app1$ df
    <snip>
    /dev/md/dsk/d116 7.0G 6.4G 555M 93% /app1

    [itl-app2]/app1$ du -sk .
    1432714 .

    Am I missing something here or is there a reason why df reports 6.4Gb while
    du only reports 1.4Gb?
    And more important, how do I get those missing 5Gb back in df?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Loris
