FreeBSD 5.4 - filesystem full

Hi,

  What kind of applications are you running on the machine ? Are they
mmap'ing files on the filesystem in quesiton (which one ?) ?
  AFAIR even if you delete a big file the disk space may not be
reclaimed if a process still has the file open.

  If you reboot the machine or restart some of the applications, does
the issue disappear ?

Regards,
Adrian.
