[ale] weird behavior

[Mir Shafiqul Islam]

Hi df is displaying a weird trait that I can't figure out why. Almost
every second it is showing less and less available disk space. and finally
when it went upto 95% of usage I rebooted the server and it dropped back
to 67% ! I ran a cron job to log this activity. part of it is attached.
I tried to find the files that is getting modified in last few minutes and
did not find anything abnormal.

At around 11:07 server got rebooted and see how the disk usage went down.
ANy idea ? It is driving me crazy...
