Trouble is that ntp is running in chroot by default.
To get rid of the duplicate /var/lib/ntp/proc directory (in which you
have copy of the regular /proc), do the following:
stop ntp daemon
edit /etc/sysconfig/ntp and set run in chroot to “no”
edit the script /etc/init.d/ntp and set run in chroot to “no”
umount /var/lib/ntp/proc
start ntp daemon
Then you should have an empty /var/lib/ntp/proc

Well, that wouldn’t make it too secure then, wouldn’t it?
Just had a similar case as the size of the kcore file was shown by du
-sh. When maths done properly it was obvious that can be ignored as the
sum was much larger than the size of the filesystem.

For the maths, you are right, but when you’ve got some monitoring tools
running, you can have annoying false positive for disk usage.
Also correct for the security, but it wasn’t the question, right ? ;-))
To improve security you can limit the interfaces on which ntp runs on,
and can also implement authentication ‘How does NTP authentication
work?’
