I am having a little trouble with my diskspace. When I do an 'df', it
gives me something like this:

Filesystem  512-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a        28303   13364   12108    52%    /
/dev/wd0e       266030  142957   96470    60%    /usr
/dev/fd0a         2847    1928     919    68%    /mnt

As you can see, for /dev/wd0a 13364+12108 does not equal 28303.. Also,
142957+96470 does not equal 266030. It has happened that my system
reported a negative value for available disk-space! fsck however does
return the correct free disk space, but does not discover anything wrong
with the disks.. Note that on a floppy everything seems ok.

Is this a known problemm? And if yes, could you please tell me what to
do to fix it??
