An unlinked file isn't actually deleted until all file handles to it are closed. Since this is your log partition, you probably have broken log rotation script. I bet its moving the files to a new name, but the logging process isn't closing and reopening the logfile. These files that are unlinked but still have open handles to them continue to consume their usual amount of disk space. FWIW, I have seen this issue particularly noticably with MySQL when the query log is enabled, but that's a wild guess... -- Ross Vandegrift ross@kallisti.us "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.
