I just moved (using the "mv" command) a 1.4GB file from one 4GB filesystem to a 24GB filesystem.
While the file was copied to the second filesystem, and the directory entry was removed from the
first, the space on the first was _not_ freed -- at least not according to "df". When I do a "du" the
space is no longer being used. As such, I assume the inodes are still in use somehow, but lost (i.e.
not referenced) in the directory tree.
Anyone else seen this problem before? Is there a bug with "mv" on near full filesystems --
because the 4GB was close to full (88%) at the time of the move.
More pertinent, does anyone know how to resolve the incorrect "df" usage and/or free up the
inodes with_out_ umounting the filesystem? Thanx in advance.
