0000923: phantom disk space use
(rep by Eric Thomas)

I'm seeing a strange problem with Resin Pro 3.0.17 on Red Hat ES3 x86. When the server's running, the 'df' utility reports that disk space is slowly disappearing. However, when I run 'du' to find out where the space is going, it reports that the space hasn't been used. We run out of disk space until the server is unusable. When I stop Resin, the disk space is suddenly free again.

Here's the df output before a restart, then after:

[root@psqa ps]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 9.7G 372M 8.8G 4% /
/dev/sda1 494M 25M 445M 6% /boot
none 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda4 55G 55G 0 100% /usr
[root@psqa ps]# ./resin stop
[root@psqa ps]# ./resin start
[root@psqa ps]# Resin httpd start at Wed Feb 8 09:23:17 EST 2006
[root@psqa ps]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 9.7G 372M 8.8G 4% /
/dev/sda1 494M 25M 445M 6% /boot
none 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda4 55G 17G 35G 33% /usr
[root@psqa ps]#

Have you seen anything like this before? Thanks...
