Is /var a separate filesystem on your system? /var is used for temporary files which may account for the difference depending on the type of temporary files that are being created and when they are created/removed. Try restarting the system and issuing the two commands again if /var is a separate filesystem and provide the output from these two commands for us.

yes, /var is a separate fs about 260MB,i've changed the log
file to other partition which used /var/log before,(because
it's too small to record huge logs),but /var/spool/mqueue &
/var/spool/mail need some spaces,it seems that i'd better n
ot to change SENDMAIL's options,right?
I can NOT restart my server now,because of 7/24 using,so i
just want to know if i use the command i wrote above,it sho
ule tell me all feature of /var space using,is that right?
