Actually, no. In fact, I just did a quick test, with a 500mb file, and
as root, I deleted the 500mb, and my df doesn't report the newly freed
space - I did this locally, with no NFS in the mix.. I have softupdates
turned on, and quotas turned on (although I just recently turned on the
quotas after having this problem, so that isn't causing problems)..
Any ideas anyone?
