Deleted File, Available Space Did Not Return [duplicate]

  • 772

On CentOS linux, I just deleted a large log file over 3gb on XFS file system. After deleting the file, the available file space did not return to the drive seen via df -h. Is there anything I can do to find the missing free space?

    You can either reboot or terminate the process that has the file open. So long as the file is still in use, its space cannot be freed.
