Filesystem problem



Hi,

I have a 20 GB HD, partitioned in several smaller parts, some vfat:
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5              1035628    677468    305552  69% /
/dev/hda11              909112    693236    169692  81% /home

/dev/hda12             1296528   1099708    130956  90% /hana
/dev/hda1              2096160   2026496     69664  97% /wailea
/dev/hda7              2096160   1899840    196320  91% /paia
/dev/hda8              5114684   4285368    829316  84% /makena
/dev/hda9              5114684   4909000    205684  96% /lahaina

/dev/hda5       /               ext2    defaults,errors=remount-ro      01
/dev/hda10      none            swap    sw                      0       0
proc            /proc           proc    defaults                        00
/dev/hda1 /wailea vfat defaults,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/hda7 /paia vfat defaults,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/hda8 /makena vfat defaults,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/hda9 /lahaina vfat defaults,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/hda11 /home ext2 rw                        0       2
/dev/hda6 /usr ext2 rw                  0       2
/dev/hda12 /hana ext2 rw 0 2

Problem is: on /wailea, according to df, I only have a little space left,
although there should be almost half a GB free. This is a recurring
problem on that partition: df only shows the right amount of free space
after a while (it may take several hours). I don't know what's causing
this delay, and I haven't noticed it on any other partition.

I am using Woody, kernel 2.2.17 with ide backport installed. I've tried
sync, but that doesn't change anything.

Anyone an idea what might be going on, and how I should fix this
problem? I don't think my system has been compromised, 'cause the free
space was only created (by deleting a large file) seconds before I did df,
so it's not like someone is eating my free space that fast ;)

Thanks for any advice,

Frederik
