Since this is my first post, allow me to introduce myself: My (nick)name is Tribio, and I'm an IT Engineer at a logistics firm, where my main task is to support end-users and participate in large IT projects. Another task is the system administration of numerous servers, and one of those is a FreeBSD machine (used as fileserver).
And here comes my problem/question:
When I open up a Windows Explorer (yes, on a Windows workstation) which has a mapping to a share on the fileserver, it shows me that approx. 2GB of space is left. So I started moving files from the server to another network-share (on another server!). But the thing is that these changes are not reflected in the Windows Explorer.
So I started to investigate (thanks to Google), and found out the df and du commands.
And here comes the output when I run a df:
As you can see, the /data/algemeen-share is cramped, and will cause severe issues in the future. I have already moved like 8GB of data away from that share, but it still shows me only 2GB free space left.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here? How can I make my FreeBSD server realise that it has now more than those 2GB free space left?
(I'm very sorry if this question had been asked before, I tried searching, but most people just reply with 'man df' and 'man du', and trust me: Been there, done that!)
