Re: Bdf shows file system full but ll shows no file

Rick is most likely correct. The process that created the file that filled the filesystem probably still has the file open. Try to run fuser on the logical volume to see what process still has the phantom file open. Then kill the process. It is no good anyways being the output file has been half removed. The freecount will then get updated.

Re: Bdf shows file system full but ll shows no file

I have seen this a lot, if you delete a file that a process is writting to then the disk will still be shown as full because the process holds the i-node open. Kill the process and the disk will go back to normal.
