After using 'rm' to remove the file, I noted the following discrepancy: df /usr showed 8 gigabytes of disk space used du -x /usr shows only 4.5 gigabytes of disk space used I expect some discrepancy between the two, but this seems a bit excessive. ;-) >How-To-Repeat: Unfortunately, I no longer have enough free disk space to check whether a large file built with 'dd' will reproduce this problem. I'm hoping that 'fsck' can correct it. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
