Hi,
I do a tgz-backup some maildir-folders with n*1000 off files and a lot of GB in storage. The backuped maildirs are removed after the tar.
My assumption was, that the free diskspace should be bigger after that, but from what I get with df, it looks like I'm loosing space.
Currently the tgz is saved on the same disk/mountpoint.
Any hint, why removing the maildirs dont free diskspace as expected?
It is still an ext3 filesystme
Regards and thanks for hints . Götz-- Götz Reinicke IT-Koordinator
