So I'm having this issue where the disk space on my VM keeps doing down and down and down, but the usage is not going up.  I reboot and run fsck and it's fine
anyone else experience this?
I really should convert my root fs to zfs. what a PITA
it's unix?
probably something opened a file and then deleted it
FreeBSD
but it's still open so it sticks around on disk
yeah, that's probably it.
I guess I could write a script to look at lsof's output and check what files actually exist
Just know that if a file is recreated with the same name, your "does the file exist" test would fail you.
HAS_A_BANANA: true that
But I guess I need to start somewhere.
haha!! It's weechat.
Well that solves that. I turned off the 'fifo' thing in weechat.
fifo thing?
yeah it's a way to send external commands to weechat. it's a plugin.
ah
do you have to do a mkfifo?
I'm not sure. I didn't actually look into it.
Since I wasn't using it, I just turned it off, and voila.
