System: Redhat Linux 8 kernel version 2.4.18-14.

I ran across an issue when deleting a firebird gdb file on a EXT3
filesystem. The space was not freed until I rebooted the system. The
administrator deleting the database and recreating it did not use gds_drop
to drop all resources before-hand.

Has anyone run into this before?

What is the proper sequence for stopping FB and deleting the DB.

Any help is appreciated.
