XFS filesystem - delete large files doesn't update free diskpace

[Sb]

Hi,

I have Jaunty x86 installed on an XFS partition in a single root filesystem. I deleted some large log files in /var/log totaling about 2 GB, and after deleting them I noticed that my free diskspace (reported by df) did not change. I verified it several times with Nautilus and df, which agreed that I had only about 500 MB of free space. Then I rebooted, and it now reports 2.5 GB of free space. Why the delay?

Thanks!

I have this problem too. Exactly the same location. Deleted a 18GB apache logfile with rm command and it is gone without any freed disk space. I have looked after huge files with "sudo find / -size +50M -exec ls -la {} \;" but no huge files exists elsewhere.

Unix-like operating system don't delete a file on a disk until the last filehandle to the file is closed. Therefore, for log-files you also have to restart the respective daemon (e.g. apache) to have the disk space actually freed.

Rebooting the system has the same effect for obvious reasons.

I just received my PN-20 (Panerai Luminor GMT Automatic), and I have to say I'm really impressed. I have ordered from quite a few replica sites in the past, and I always ended up sending the watch back disappointed. I hope this makes it into your customer comments section. I would recommend this site to anyone. Very prompt delivery, great prices and wonderful quality.
