it looks like I've messed up one of my hard drives after filling the drive
up to full - deleting files is not freeing up space, at least not according
to 'df'.

I get this output:

/dev/hdb1             688G  663G     0 100% /data2

hdb1 is causing concern. I unmounted and remounted it without noticeable
effect - anyone know what I've done wrong and how I can sort it out?
Don't sure, because if you umount it , then my tip won't work, but you
could grepping lsof output.

If you deleted /data2/data

lsof | grep "/data2/data"

And kill the proccess who is "blocking" your space from being free.

Never knew you could do that - but you're right, it doesn't help unfortunately. Nothing comes up for data2 with lsof.

Thanks anyway,


Adam
