df -h reports that on /var 1.5G of 1.9G are used and only 237M of free space

However doing a
du -hd 1 /var

and summing up the results I only get to less than 200M of used space, so there are 1.3G unaccounted for. fsck in single user mode does not recognize a
problem.

Try looking at tunefs(8), particularly the -m flag.  That amount of
space is kept for root (the user).


As in most cases the problem was sitting between the chair and the keyboard. I
simply overlooked the G when I read that /var/log contained 1.3G of data.

I'm sorry for wasting the precious time of those who read or even replied with
my stupidity.

Sounds like you need to make a few entries in /etc/newsyslog
First thing I do when I add any new apps is give their logs a life cycle.
All too quickly logs become bulky and you find /var holding it's breath.
