Ah ha. You got it spot on. llisted a huge amount of space consumed by mysql. I restarted mysql and now, df = du reports (Well almost, probably a few other processes need resetting).
Thanks for the heads up!

So the space is not freed. du reports only on the files it can see, df reports on the actual space(something like that). you can use lsof to see what processes are using /var, once you restart them(or if you wnat, try to track down which process(s) are using the file(s) that were deleted, possibly by you?) restart only those processes not all of them and the space will get freed immediately. either that or there is some filesystem curroption, very very likely that the issue is what I mention first though nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
