Precedence: bulk

do not forget that deleting an *open* file will not de-allocate the space.
if the file in question is currently held open by some application/shell,
and you delete it, this is what will occur:

   1. the file name will be removed from the directory, and you will not
      see the file via ls.
   2. the disk space will remain allocated.  this is because there is a
      valid link to the inode.

once the user/application has closed the file, assuming it was not re-
written, the file will truly be deleted and the disk space de-allocated.

just an FYI.

regards,
--robert
