When you delete a file with open file handles pointing to it, the kernel
doesn't actually completely delete the file.
This is what i want to confirm.. so what had happened is that, the java programs keeps logging in the /tmp even if you do not see the file which, is actually a file handle only and not visible in `ls -a`, and making the /tmp 86% full, right?
In fact, it may be possible
to recover it from /proc. IIRC, the kernel won't actually free those
blocks until then.
This is all AFAIK and IIRC, from a post I read on Planet Gnome (IIRC)
some months back. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a reference to it
at the moment.
