A lot of times you will find that when running low on space...and you
delete say, like you said, 20 M, that the df binary will show your
respective filesystem as 0 M left. But if you look at the actual amount to
the left of the 0, you will find that there is still some space left....I
don't know why "df" acts in this particular fashion, but this happens to me
all the time and I just ignore it....for example:
df -h
/dev/hda3 880M 871M 0 M
it shows it something like that...I apologize, I am not at my linux box at
the moment.....it seems to only do this when you have say 5-10 M left on
the filesystem...it still shows it as 0 M....dunno....maybe upgrading to
the latest "df" binary will help? I just ignore it....:)
