I experienced something like that recently too, but I thought it was just
my imagination. I think I tried using a variation on the command to pull up

the second time. (?)

What type of filesystem are you using.
Filesystems like Reiserfs tend to allocate a bunch of inodes when
they're first used, and then not release them when the files are
deleted. Sometimes, that will cause what you're seeing.
When it needs disk space again, it will just use the already

XFS all the way around. I deleted three ISO images, freeing up more than
1.5GB, but df was a little slow on the uptake.
