free space file system

[Jose_129]

When liberate space to file system is not reflected the changes when executing the command bdf but with the command du I can see the free space.

[Patrick Wallek]

If I am understanding you correctly, you have deleted a file and you do not see what you would expect when you execute a bdf. This is probably due to some process still writing to that file. The space will not be released from the system until the process that is using the files is finished or is killed.

[Michael Tully]

This sometimes happens when a file or files have been removed that are still have a process open, particularly in /var

You can try to use 'fuser' but the 'lsof' tool is better to find which processes are holding files open. Only other way is to reboot your system.
