Hard disk (df) reporting.

[Corey Popelier <pancreas@dingoblue.net.au>]

I had a rogue civserver process that managed to append a lot of data to
the ~/.gnome-errors file. In fact, the file rapidly grew to over 200Mb.

Now I killed the process and deleted the file, but the amount of space
used reported by df stayed the same. A du of / reported ~200Mb less, as I
expected.

"Sync" has not altered the report of df. Is this 200Mb actually freed or
trapped still somehow?

Cheers,
 Corey Popelier
