On one of our servers, deleted space is not being freed and causing is to run out of disk space. To test this, I copied a 200 meg file to the /usr partition and then deleted it. I checked df before copying, after copying, and after deleting it. After deleting it, the space never became available. I waited atleast 24 hours just to make sure. 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Mon Jan 29 10:18:20 PST 2001 I checked the disk space just a minute ago: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 125983 38405 77500 33% / /dev/da0s1e 8229668 7489763 81532 99% /usr procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc Notice how /usr is almost full. There should actually be quite a bit of space available. I mounted /usr2 and then when I umount'd /usr2, the missing space on /usr magically came back. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 125983 38405 77500 33% / /dev/da0s1e 8229668 6702791 868504 89% /usr procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc That is almost 800Mb that was locked up. Am I doing something wrong? or is this a bug? I didn't see anything in a quick search of the mailing lists. CC me I'm not on the list.
