Subject: Where did my swap-file memory go?
Date: Fri, 7 May 1993 06:33:09 GMT

Please help me to get my hard disk space back! I used to have a swap file of
size 6M. Then I decided that 6M is not enough, so I "rm" the old swap file,
and add in another 10M swap file. According to my calculation, I should
have 10-6=4M less hard disk space. However, when I use df to check, I have 10M
less hard disk. In another word, "rm" does not really delete the file for
me. Could someone tell me what is happening here and how I can get the 6M
disk memory back? Thanks in advance.
