Isn't that a server message and not related to your local fs?
My /tmp is rather large, but when I use df on it (at intervals of a few
seconds), it seems that the _size_ of the filesystem is decreasing! I
might expect that the Used would go up (and Avail go down) if files were
being created in the filesystem, but I certainly would not expect the
actual size of the filesystem to change!
That is strange. Btw, you should also look at the number of inodes.
