Lately I've been downloading some large files with Firefox. Once the download has successfully finished, I "Clear Downloads" in the Firefox download library window, so Firefox should forget about the files. I then copy them to a different filesystem and rm the original. _Sometimes_ the disk space is not freed. Obviously Firefox is still keeping a file descriptor open, because quitting Firefox then immediately frees the disk space. Is anybody else seeing this? It only happens intermittently. Sometimes the disk space is freed immediately following the rm, sometimes it isn't. I've started noticing this in recent weeks, but that may simply be due to my usage pattern. FreeBSD 12-STABLE with whatever the lastest www/firefox port is, currently 71.0. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
