Howto flush diskspace in BSD?

After i removed alot of files in BSD i still see no gain in available diskspace. When does it flush the "trashcan" in BSD?

There's your answer... If you straight out deleted the apache logfiles, apache still had the filehandles open and the filesystem didn't release the space until the handles had been closed. You can safely null out logfiles doing:

Code:

cat /dev/null > logfile

Your mysql databases might have gotten corrupted as well, just a heads up.. :)
