Subject: ext3: deleting files doesn't free up space
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 08:22:25 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTimwDpUz9GUmx3UutYir0UuoTSAXNzphWeEX9sKh@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I filled up my partition last night.
I deleted 5 gigs of movies.
The "Used" number went down to 125G.
The "Free" number stayed at 0.
I rebooted the system but it's still the same.
$ echo foo > foo
bash: echo: write error: No space left on device
$ df .
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 136236548 130363620 0 100% /media/old_sys
$ mount | grep old
/dev/sda1 on /media/old_sys type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
/media/old_sys/home on /home type none (rw,bind)
This is with 2.6.37-rc5+. Is there a way to debug this?
regards,
dan carpenter
