On one of our servers, deleted space is not being freed and causing is to
run out of disk space. To test this, I copied a 200 meg file to the /usr
partition and then deleted it. I checked df before copying, after copying,
and after deleting it. After deleting it, the space never became
available. I waited atleast 24 hours just to make sure.

I checked the disk space just a minute ago:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 125983 38405 77500 33% /
/dev/da0s1e 8229668 7489763 81532 99% /usr
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
Notice how /usr is almost full. There should actually be quite a bit of
space available.
I mounted /usr2 and then when I umount'd /usr2, the missing space on /usr
magically came back.

/dev/da0s1e 8229668 6702791 868504 89% /usr
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
That is almost 800Mb that was locked up. Am I doing something wrong? or
is this a bug? I didn't see anything in a quick search of the mailing
lists.
CC me I'm not on the list.
