I've had the df on one of my 2.1R servers tell me that /var is 107% full,
deleted some large files there,done du and gotten a figure for blocks used
in var,done df again(over periods of hours) and still been told(despite
checking the directories again,no new growth) that over twice that much
space is in use and that it's still 107% full.

What's up?Has this been fixed?
