re : bdf problem

[Vincent_5]

Hi Guys,
can someone advice why after I deleted certain files on a lvol and free some space out on a logical volume. When I run bdf the space is not updated with the free space.

Let say i have lvol4 space 4000GB

I deleted some files on this lvol4 and now is left with 2000GB


But when I run bdf, the 2000GB space is not added to the available space.


Kindly advice


Regards
Vincent

Most of the time this happens because a file is deleted when it is still being accesses by a process. So space will be released only after such a process stops. What file did you delete? If you have lsof tool, you can check what file is deleted but such file was still being accesses by a process.

lsof +aL 1 /dir

Hi Vincent,

Check with "fuser" to find out any files are being used in the particular LV.

# fuser -u will help you. You can kill the processes by # fuser -ku

hi...

there are processes that still using size in your direktory and not close normally.
check with lsof to know what process that using files. or you shutdown your application to fix this.
