"fuser" will not help if the file has already been deleted. You need to run
fuser *before* deleting a file to insure that the file is not currently
open by some process.
The only way to regain the space used by this file is to stop the process
that has the file open. Unfortunately there is no way that I know of to
identify the process once the file is gone. If you cannot identify and stop
the offending process the only option is to reboot. (Note: You will know if
you've stopped the right process as the space in temp will be recovered
immediately.)

There is probably an open file which has been deleted.
Check the "fuser" man page for information on how to identify this file
and the process using it. Once you've killed the process the space will
be released.

Subject: /tmp utilization
Hi all,
My /tmp utilization is showing 100% full. But after deleting all files,
the utilization still 100% - unless i reboot the system. What is the
cause & how can i solve this?
