file system trouble

[Heinrich Rebehn]

Hi list,

This morning i had a strange problem:
The /home filesystem was full (121G partition on a 3ware escalade raid)
So i deleted 7G, but df did not show any difference. The fs is mounted w/ soft-updates. I issued a sync command, but still no change. The files were no longer shown in ls, but space was not freed. So i decided to reboot, to make sure that the deleted files are not still opened by some process.
The shutdown went normal, but at the end it said:

sysncing disks..

3321 3321 3321 3316 .....

I dont't know the exact numbers anymore, but it printed some 40x80 lines of 4 digit numbers, the last line was all 1s and then said:

giving up on 1 buffers.

When rebooting, all fs were unclean and i had to wait the usual 20 minutes for fsck to complete.

What has been going on here?

I use 4.6.2-RELEASE
