What are you doing *right now*?

-
10 hours ago I was driving to the grand canyon, just me and Julian's mouse dongle, we had a lovely time together
-
Perhaps for the NodeBB's birthday I should send some mouse dongles over
-
Writing my research proposal for my graduation internship.
-
Working from home rather than the office today because my wife is really sick and my kids need me to watch them. Dying because for the billionth time we are unable to work on important things because the service we use is down.
-
Inspecting some weird bug on my filesystem (
ext4)...I've attempted to delete a
28.7Gfile. It's removed now, but the space is still somehow allocated.The outcome is:
> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [...] /dev/sda5 201G 145G 47G 76% /home [...] > du -sh /home 116G /homeI'm getting crazy about this...

@frissdiegurke SSD or HDD? If HDD could be your drive is about to crash, if SSD could be your drive no longer has any writes left.
-
@HolyPhoenix SSD. The smart status indicates this... Will have to search for an replacement thought.
What are you doing right now: Buying SSD replacement o_O

Back in my day we didn't have fancy schmancy SSDs... I remember buying a 250GB Maxtor IDE hard drive for $250
Edit: Oh, also, I'm waiting for my new mechanical keyboard to arrive
Holy jpeg compression

Most probably the file is still used by some process. Space will be freed if you kill the process.
Alternatively you may look for the file descriptor in /proc/<process_pid>/fd/ ie:
ls -l /proc/*/fd/*|grep filenamethen truncate the file
echo -n > /proc/<process_pid>/fd/<fd_number> -
@Luc-Dumaine This might have been the case, everything is fine now (no restart, no further investigation since), space recovered. Nonetheless my SMART status justifies a new SSD
And this short period of scare did well for my backup storage xD Thanks for most probable explanation thought (even so I don't know which of my processes might have had any interest in the file). -
Well let's say I given "the most probable explanation if the context isn't properly taken into account"
-
So what am I doing right now? I'm looking for a web browser for my smartwatch and that is free... I don't mind compiling anything, so long its free.

I am growing increasingly frustrated trying to install NodeBB and the docs sends me on an infinite loop between Mongo and Redis - seriously, guys - you can do better
Pity that, because NodeBB really is the only forum software that excites me
