Hello,
 
      I am running solaris10 with zones on ix86. 
 
      I had a partition space filled up by some log file in a user A's home 
directory. The size of that log file was 15G. User A deleted that file but to 
my surprise the disk space was not freed. I rechecked it and there was no file 
of 15G size in user A's directory. But when I run 'du' on user A's directory, t 
was still showing the same directory size as it was before deleting the log 
file. 'df' command was also showing 100% for that partition. After more than an 
hour after I kept trying to empty up some space by deleting files from other 
directories, the disk space became free and showed more than 15G available. 
 
     I wonder why the disk space was freed after so huge delay?. Does anyone 
have also experienced same kind of problem?. What could be the cause and how to 
make it free up the space quickly. ?
 
 Any thoughts.
 
 Thanks in advance.
 
 Regards,
 Qutub.
