Well, in my case, may be a while, it is usually every few months when I
clear out about 30% of a large (~11T) volume on my backup disk...
It only grows slowly as I make backups on it...then I delete maybe ...
60-100 files worth of backups (xfsdumps)....but for me dropping
the cache did work so it may not be the same problem.

As ben said, the last reference has to go away before the space is
freed. lsof is your friend.
I just had the same problem recently, but lsof reported zero open files
on the volume. umount/mount worked though, I didn't thought the cache
trick would be enough.
I think that we need a reproducable test case for this issue before
we'll be able to make any progress on it, then....
Cheers,
Dave.
