[CentOS] strange diskspace consuming

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
