known problem.  it should even be in the faq.  we have a small problem in
the disklabel code that no one has been able to find yet.  it seems to
create an additive effect when doing a 'du'.  so, the usage of any one
partition is the sum of it's own usage plus those partitions before it.
rather annoying, but someone will find the problem eventually :-(
