Thanks, Dave, for that observation. It doesn't apply in my case as described above, however.DaveS wrote:Henry, try adding the 'pfix=fsck' command to your boot parameter. This seems to stop/fix .wh files. If you are using Grub, the entry would look like this:
/431/vmlinuz pfix=fsck pmedia=atahd psubdir=431
1. I use a live CD only, not a full installation, no grub.
2. My main objective here is to avoid rebooting as a way to restore lost free space.
3. pfix=fsck restores the lost free space but does not delete the .wh files, which are the problem.
Other than that - great
