When I use rm -r to delete a directory structure, the system no
longer reports the correct free space. I tried several times in a row
deleting directory structures containing about 4G each (DVD IFOs), but
after the operation, df still shows the same amount of disk space free. So
does the properties informatiohn on a Windows machine for an SMB share. I
started out with 993G free before deleting over 16G of files, but now am
only showing 997G free. Interestingly enough, when I drilled into the
structure and used rm on a couple of the files before getting out of the
directory and using rm -r, the free space updated properly. How can I get
XFS to re-calculate the amount of free space on a mounted file system?
The problem was reproducible on two different servers, both with XFS file
systems formatted on top of madam manages RAID6 volumes.
