[Ocfs2-users] Ghost files in OCFS2 filesystem

Hi,

I have encountered an issue on an Oracle RAC cluster using ocfs2, OS is RH Linux 5.3.

One of the ocfs2 filesystems appears to be 97% full, yet when I look at the files in there they only equal about 13gig (filesystems is 40gig in size).

I have seen this sort of thing in HP-UX but that involved a process who's output file was deleted but the process hadn't been stopped properly, once we killed the offending process the space was released, but I can't seem to find any process on this Linux server that is using or writing files to that filesystem.

File system:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/emcpoweri1        40G   39G  1.9G  96% /oraexport
File listing: Other than directories, these are the only files in that filesystem, nothing in lost+found either..

[root at aumel21db01cn01]# ll
total 11926784
-rw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 12210978816 Aug 21 05:23   00000.Full.090821.dmp
-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle oinstall     1920327 Aug 21 05:23      00000.Full.090821.log
Any assistance with what is going on would be greatly appreciated.
