Hi folks,

I'm running FC3 and ran out of disk space.

After deleting a huge - and I mean approx 5Gb - worth of files, the df output still shows 0% free. None of these files were linked to other files. They should be well truly gone.

Rebooting and forcing a fsck doesn't seem to have solved the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

- Earl
