Hi, All

I have an AIX 5.2 server where users automount their home directories
from /export/home on a Solaris box. The Solaris box has clean-up
scripts that delete files in /export/home. I've noticed that space
usage on this filesystem is creeping ever upwards. Just now I've run
commands showing a substantial discrepancy between df and du. I
believe that this is because there are processes running on the AIX
server which have some of these "deleted" files still open.

How could I be certain if this is the case? If it is so, what can I do
about it? Is there a way to identify the offending AIX process? Or is
it a matter of refreshing either automounter or the NFS daemons?

TIA
