Filesystems like Reiserfs tend to allocate a bunch of inodes when they're first used, and then not release them when the files are deleted. Sometimes, that will cause what you're seeing.
When it needs disk space again, it will just use the already allocated inodes first.
That's a very simplistic reply. But it "could" be what you're seeing.

I experienced something like that recently too, but I thought it was
just my imagination. I think I tried using a variation on the command to pull

fresh numbers. For instance, if I used "df" the first time, then I used
"df -h"
the second time. (?)

After deleting a 100 MB file, df shows no change in disk usage. Why is
this so?
