But I do not want to shut down my system! I just want to get 700 Mb
more free space when I delete a 700 Mb file, without having to fsck
the filesystem and see the "deleted inode has zero dtime" message.
Currently, every once in maybe 5 times I delete a large file, the disk
space never gets reclaimed, even if I unmount it and remount (which
should really sync the filesystem) . It is not my root partition.
Is this some cache problem?
