USB HDD reporting wrong free space

[Bushdoctor]

I have a USB HDD connected to my A110 and sometimes to my computer, it's formatted in EXT3 and I'm using Ext2Fsd to access it on my PC running XP. My problem is when I delete a file on the USB HDD from windows the file disappear but the free space on the HDD does not increase. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Depending on what driver you use for the ext file system, there should

be a "flush" or "flush cache" or similar named function somewere.

Use that function after you have done your stuff on the

Hard-Drive ( adding/deleting files ) and i think you should

se that the amount of free space should be correct.

looks like a windows / driver problem to me. try and do a refresh on the folder view.

But thats not a problem. The Ext3 file system use that amount

of space for the file system, so the numbers are correct
