like others said open deleted files, i was going to say hard links but
GNU du seems to not be braindamaged like some commercial unix versions
of du that can't tell the difference between a hard link and a
copy. (*cough* Digital UNIX).
have you fscked it recently? perhaps there is something messed up in
the filesystem..
tune2fs -l /dev/whatever and see if the reserved space is actually
more then 5%
other then that i cannot really think of anything, other then perhaps
some evil code that is hiding files from you but not hiding there disk
utiliztion...
