This will always happen if you remove a file that is still open.
You can use the 'fuser' command to first verify that a file is
not in use by a process.  Doing this will prevent what you describe.

Subject: [HPADM] free disk space not released after a file remove


Hello admins,
 
At HP-UX 11.00 I have removed a 2 GB file without seen that space
increasing the available free space in the filesystem.
 
The filesystem type is hfs and I have used bdf to check their size and
space availability.
 
The same thing has happened in another filesystem.
 
I've done a successful umount and fsck just to see that nothing has
changed.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Regards,
javier
