fun with diskspace
with in the span of about 8 hours i've run into two separate files not having their disk usage released. one a process was holding open and just needed a restart. the second was on a nas and the files had been deleted but the filesystem hadnt been synced, so running sync explictly was needed
so first hit lsof then try sync if rm isnt giving back space, then probably check for hard links if either of these didnt do it
