Definitely umount the drive first. If there are application temporary
files on the file system, that could be taking the 42%. Another
possibility is that one of the files the DBA deleted is still in use, so
the OS did not delete the file, just the inode. Once the application
closes the file it will be deleted. In either case you will get an in
use error if you umount the file system. Once unmounted, run the fsck
and see if there are any errors. My guess is that there won't be.

Subject: Hard drive problem?
Our DBA deleted all the files in a file system, but it
still shows 42% full. FSCK shows errors:
/dev/hd16 (/u06): Bad Inode Map (NOT SALVAGED)
/dev/hd16 (/u06): Bad Block Map (NOT SALVAGED)
/dev/hd16 (/u06): Filesystem integrity is not
guaranteed
/dev/hd16 (/u06): 10 files 131768 blocks 4062536 free
There are 3 file systems on the disk, two of which
have the errors shown above, one does not. Do I have
a bad disk, or is this a file system problem? TIA.
