I suspect you would have seen 'du' and 'df' give back more reasonable
values with just umounting and remounting the ecryptfs filesystem, no
reboot needed. If a process still had the files open, killing the
process might have been sufficient.

However, 'du' and 'df' are blunt instruments -- with modern filesystems,
ten gigabytes of files may take more or less than ten gigabytes of disk
space, and before they have been flushed, may not appear to exist at
all.

Are you actually getting ENOSPC error returns in your programs because
you're full? Most applications handle this poorly.

Thanks
