 Me again here...

 ... another thing that puzzles me...

 As long as I had 'journalled softupdates' activated I could see
 that the reported size of my /var partition [/dev/mirror/gm0s1d]
 did (quite often) show disconcerting usage values when using:

    df; du -cs {/var,/tmp,/usr}

 [means - the shown results of 'df' and 'du' did show different
 usage values for /var - and only /var in my case - no idea why...
 and it even didn't somehow sync back after a couple of minutes or
 after rebooting - the results where 'wrong' all the time].

 This came especially apparent at one time where 'df' did show
 me a _negative_ available space on /var (and I wasn't even close
 to the reserved space - 144M used out of 53G). A simple reboot (with 
 hopes that the background fsck would fix that) wasn't enough - I had
 to force fsck the partition in question manually in order to show the 
 correct usage values again...
