>Description:
	When using file systems that are mount via the null layer it take a LONG time
	until space used by files that are deleted via the null layer is reclaimed
	by the underlying fs. This leads to fs full although there should be space
	the allocate. Note that this is not related to the async free meachinism.
	Space is not reclaimed for periods over serveral (>20) minutes. We run
	amanda backup across a null mount point - this is where we saw that
	behaviour. 
	Another observation is that quota entries are not updated for some
	time similar to the space reclamation problem above.
>How-To-Repeat:
	run amanda with holding disk via null mount point.
>Fix:
	umounting and mount the null layer brings things in sync again.
	quotaoff/on will restore correct quota counts.
