Subject: Free Block Count Not Updating Until After Reboot X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2003 03:43:56 -0000 Hello, all. I am running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #27 and have run into some strange behavior with the SCSI drive. The adaptor is an Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 adaptater, and the drive is a Seagate ST336607LW SCSI-3 device. Problem is that I can rm a 4GB file and afterwards, the free block count won't reflect the erasure. Instead, it displays the same count it showed prior to the 'rm'. The free block count won't be updated until I reboot the system. I checked LINT, and found that the 29160 isn't supported. Only 154x, 274x/284x/294x, and 152x are mentioned there. It's probably a no-brainer at this point, but I want to be sure: could this be the cause of the OS not seeing/showing the updated free block count until after the reboot?
