discrepency between "df" and "du" on tmpfs filesystem?

[Christopher Friesen]

Someone noticed this on one of our machines.  The rootfs is a 256MB 
tmpfs filesystem.  Depending on how you check the size, you get two 
different answers.


root@xxxxxxxxxxx:/root> df -hl
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs                256M  250M  6.4M  98% /
none                   32M  116K   32M   1% /tmp

root@xxxxxxxxxxx:/root> df -kl
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                  262144    255684      6460  98% /
none                     32768       116     32652   1% /tmp

root@xxxxxxxxxxx:/root> du -sxk /
204672  /

root@xxxxxxxxxxx:/root> du -sxh /
200M    /

Anyone know what's going on?
