Desperate - How do i get my space back?

Hi all,

I have just killed 2 processes that created a 2GB trace file on file system
A. I then moved the trace
file to another file system, B, but the the space on file system A has not
been replenished.

I've done an fuser on the directory that originally contained the 2GB file
but nothing.
I don't see any other processes that could be using the moved file either.

Is there a command i can use to replenish the space, that does not entail
unmounting the file system,
as this is a 24x7 system.

All i can think of is to wait a while until an unknown process dies or advfs
replenishes the space
on its own.

The system is running 4.0d on an alpha 4100.

Any ideas?
