Hello,

I am having a weird problem. When i moved one huge file under / parition to /var partition, I saw
the /var partition usage increased to the expected size and / partition usage still remains the
same.
I am pretty sure the file is not in / anymore and yet the usage for / don't change. What is going
on ?

here is the df output, as u can see / and /var are different partition :

[root at extreme /]# df -k
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7              1035660    862312    120740  88% /
/dev/sda1               101086      7934     87933   9% /boot
/dev/sda5              6554184     49372   6171868   1% /data
none                    517800         0    517800   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda8              3154588   1206136   1788208  41% /home
/dev/sda2             40472588  22818308  15598364  60% /usr
/dev/sda3             17172560   3543928  12756304  22% /var


thanks,

James.
