Full section or not?

Question

my / tmp section is full ... and its empty at the same time. Thus, the section is filled. Check the directory:

# du -sh / tmp
28K / tmp

What? It is empty ... And it is really empty ... only two empty directories are located in / tmp

Checking section information:

# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/ dev / cciss / c0d0p9 1012M 961M 0 100% / tmp

It is full! But why is + available! = Size?

Check inodes:

# df -i
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/ dev / cciss / c0d0p9 131616 17 131599 1% / tmp

So what is going on here?
