yes. filesystems are able to store/organize data more efficiently if they dont get more than about 80% full. secondly (and more importantly), deletes on modern filesystems can be "journaled". so when the cache manager deletes a file, the unlink() may finish, but the kernel might be in the background slowly returning the disk blocks to the free pool. ext3 certainly does this. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
