[Ocfs-users] ocfs doesn't free space?

[Andreas Piesk]

an ocfs-volume was nearly full (only 800MB free). i deleted some 
datafiles to free space:

$ df -h .
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdp1              10G  5.3G  4.8G  53% /db/DPS

so there are more than 4GB available.

$ sqlplus /nolog

ORA-27044: unable to write the header block of file

what could be the reason for this error? looks like ocfs doesn't free 
the space from the deleted files. ocfs is mounted on 1 node only.

/dev/sdp1: clean, 282 objects, 5344/10234 blocks

what are these 282 objects? the volume contains only 26 dirs/files:

         File25 = /control01a.ctl

Any advices?
