Somebody doesn't seem to free an inode here..:

test:/ 526# df .
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1 29727 28348 1379 95% /
test:/ 527# mount -o loop /tmp/disk /mnt
test:/ 528# ls -l /mnt
total 22 [ deleted ]
test:/ 529# umount /mnt
test:/ 530# rm /tmp/disk
test:/ 531# df .
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1 29727 28348 1379 95% /
test:/ 531#=20

Ahem. Since there's _nobody_ who still accesses the file, shouldn't its
blocks get freed???
