Hi 

I was testing xfs out, so i wrote a script that created 2.3 million files in 
a directory, they were zero lenth files, them i deleted them, but now the 
file system is using 500megs, i figure this is directory information that is 
being held for future use. But since i will not be using 2 million files on 
this file system, what is the best way to get this space back.   


here is some relavent information about my system 


[jamesd@magic jamesd]$ uname -a
Linux magic 2.4.2-XFS #7 Mon Mar 12 23:26:54 CST 2001 i686 unknown


Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda9             3.9G  580M  3.4G  14% /home4


[jamesd@magic jamesd]$ df -i /home4
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hda9               3.9M       3    3.9M    0% /home4


please email if you need any further information 



Thank you
