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.
A reboot didn't solve it? Generally that's an indication that some
process has the file open. Can you do an lsof on one of the (deleted)
filenames to see if something has it open?
A running process that survives a reboot??? Neat trick!
If the filesystem got filled by a process running with root permissions,
then it also filled up the reserved space (5% by default). Until you
free up more than that reserved space, 'df' will continue to show 0%
free. On a large file system, 5GB could be less than 5% of the total.
