Managers:

        After accidentally vrestoring a load of files into the wrong
partition, which filled that partition, I used 'rm' and deleted
everything I had restored. df still showed the filesystem was 109% full.
I rebooted the machine, ran verify(8), and df still showed the 109% full
message. I am able to create a file on that file system, even though it
shows 0 blocks available. Any help is appreciated!
