    Hello admins,

    At HP-UX 11.00 I have removed a 2 GB file without seen that space increasing the available free space in the filesystem.

    The filesystem type is hfs and I have used bdf to check their size and space availability.

    The same thing has happened in another filesystem.

    I've done a successful umount and fsck just to see that nothing has changed.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards,
    javier
