[CS-FSLUG] Windows 7 conectability issues.

[Tim Young]

Heh heh.  I wish that were the case.  But since I had 1.2TB of free 
space after my reboot (Yes, I ended up rebooting my server to fix the 
problem), it was a software issue.  Some package was eating up the 
space.  Linux has an odd quirk that, if you have a file open, but 
delete the file anyway, that the file no-longer shows up in programs 
like du, ls, etc.  But the space is still used up until the 
file-handle is closed.  Some software was making a ton of temp-files, 
or one huge temp-file, and did not close the file-handle until I 
rebooted.

But, instead of blaming it on Linux in general, we can blame it on 
some unknown Linux package...
