Comment:
"du" only considers the size of the files, not the space they actually use
up; I believe there is an option to make it show the actual used up space
(like waste for the block size used, attributes, etc.).
Furthermore, a file system itself uses up space for things you don't see.
In the case of BFS, this includes the indices, and the log area among
other things. Tracker's "Get Info" will show you what the file system
reports as free which is 100% accurate, actually.
