I am running 2.2.5-RELEASE on a Pentium 100, 40MB RAM, 1GB IDE HDD
as a firewall. On my /var filesystem, temp files are created and
deleted, but when they are deleted, the free block list is not
updated. If I use 'df', it will say that there are 5,100 blocks
used, but when I run 'du' in the /var directory, it only shows 3,000
block used. The number using 'df' seems to continue to grow, until
eventually it thinks the filesystem is full, and it stops accepting
mail, etc. Only a reboot solves this problem. What am I missing. I
have compiled the standard kernel, except that I have configured an
extra network card.
