When I use rm -r to delete a directory structure, the system no longer reports the correct free space. I tried several times in a row deleting directory structures containing about 4G each (DVD IFOs), but after the operation, df still shows the same amount of disk space free. So does the properties informatiohn on a Windows machine for an SMB share. I started out with 993G free before deleting over 16G of files, but now am only showing 997G free. Interestingly enough, when I drilled into the structure and used rm on a couple of the files before getting out of the directory and using rm -r, the free space updated properly. How can I get XFS to re-calculate the amount of free space on a mounted file system? The problem was reproducible on two different servers, both with XFS file systems formatted on top of madam manages RAID6 volumes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
