Hmmm, sounds like (a) you are creating and deleting lots of files (or a
few large files), and (b) Samba has a fd leak somewhere.  This would
cause Samba to hold open deleted files, which causes them not to
*actually* be deleted until you stop Samba.  It also would have the
effect that the used space would be invisible, i.e. `du' would report
much less space used than `df'.

Does this sound like your problem?
