Just an idea: before running 'du' you might want to issue a
'remountrw'. Logic tells me that the mounted tmpfs might be hiding
something which is stored on the real disk and thus escapes 'du'.

For example the /tmp directory could be loaded with stuff on the disk
you won't see right now due to the tmpfs being mounted over it.
