Yes, this makes it really strange. I didn't recognize
it at first sight, because of the missing header:

Filesystem        Size   Used   Avail   Capacity   Mounted on
/dev/aacd0s1d     2.9G  -2.2G   4.9G    -83%       /var

Another thing that I recognize right now is the device
name - aacd0s1d - which refers to the "Adaptec AdvancedRAID
Controller driver" (aac / d0 / s1 / d); maybe some disk data
is reported wrong by the controller? Not much likely, too...

This could be determined by running

	# du -sh /var

and compare the "total" result to the size of the /var
slice (/dev/aacd0s1d). In any case, a check in SUM with
unmounted partition would be good, as you mentioned.
