Something still has the file open. Even though the file no longer has a directory entry, its disk space can't be released until nothing has it open. Either tcpdump or some program you were using to view the file must still have it open. If you get tired of looking for the culprit, a reboot will guarantee it gets closed. If you want to solve the mystery, fstat should help. - Bob _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
