On one of our servers we run the Ext3 file system and today a DF command
showed the root filesystem was 96% full.  I ran some FIND commands
looking for files updated today and "large".  My goal was to find some
logs that I could maybe erase.  What's interesting is that after a
graceful shutdown/reboot the same file space shows 72% full.  (It's a
3390-3, so this is a significant change in the amount of free blocks.)
What's more, another FIND command doesn't locate a newly-closed large
file which would explain such a big discrepancy.  

Any ideas on what's going on here?
