There's a number of reasons for this (and should probably be made
an FAQ on the wiki). Probably the two top ones are:
- There's a large number of small files on the disk and you're not
using ReiserFS (or you have notail set), in which case the space at
the end of each disk block for each file is unused, reducing the free
space, but not counting towards the total file size.
- There's a large file that's being held open by some running
process, but which has been deleted.
