    Hi folks,

    I'm running FC3 and ran out of disk space.

    After deleting a huge - and I mean approx 5Gb - worth of files, the df output still shows 0% free. None of these files were linked to other files. They should be well truly gone.

    Rebooting and forcing a fsck doesn't seem to have solved the problem.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    - Earl
