mv problem

[tnelson1]

Our DBA moved some log files. He used the mv command to move the files to a new filesystem (I understand that on older UNIX versions, this did not work). After moving the files and doing a df -k, the amount of free space in the old fs did not change. The free space in the new fs decreased, however and the files where moved to the new fs and disapeared from the old fs, although df does not indicate the free space has changed.

Any suggestions?

Open file descriptor in the old filesystem. Until the process writing the files to the old filesystem is stopped and restarted you won't see the usage change.
