deleting files not releasing space

2006-03-08 Thread Steel City Phantom
i just deleted 100 megs of files out of my temp dir and df -h doesn't show the space freed yet. it has done this in the past and a reboot will always give me my space back, but why doesn't it do it immediatly? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
