currently i cannot post actual output as we dont have this problem now.
we killed almost all the processes running on the machine,
to be able to make some links to another disks.
right after killing the processes we observed that,
output of df , rapidly decreased and came to a value very close to
output of du.
this may be a coincidence.
but another possibility is that the processes may allocate some temporary space
in the disks, because there were lots of long-time running processes which are doing heavy operations on database and also on unix files.
does it make sense?
i will send the actual outputs if the problem occurs again.
thanks for your concern...
