Hey guys! I had a 52GB solr-8983-console.log on my Solr 5.2.1 Amazon Linux 64-bit box and decided to `cat /dev/null > solr-8983-console.log` to free space.
The weird thing is that when I checked Sematext I noticed the OS had freed a lot of memory at the same exact instant I did that. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10240770/disk-space.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10240770/memory-usage.png I'm really not very familiar with how the OS allocates memory, but it seemed weird that truncating a file would actually free some of it. Any pointers on what I'm missing here would be greatly appreciated. Best, Eric Torti
