I recently had a similar phenomenon happen on a Linux box, but the same
could happen on BSD I believe.
The problem ended up being that a process had created a bunch of huge
files, then deleted them but hadn't closed them yet. The space doesn't
get reclaimed until the file is deleted and has no
UNIX file caching. The files were likely deleted but still open by some
process and therefore still taking up space. The reboot killed the
process, released the file and -viola- the free space was reported
correctly.

Hi,
A process running on your server might have created a large temporary file
which was occupyng space and which got deleted when the server got a reboot.
