On a RHEL5 system, running LVM 2.02/17, my ext3 filesystem does not update the stats in "df -h". I've almost used up the filesystem's freespace with files I manually created with both dd and copying log files from /var. Yet df still says the filesystem is 40% free.
The system has been running for most of a year, but I am not allowed to reboot or unmount/remount.
Any advice is appreciated....Lyle
