It looks like 'rpm -e' is not freeing space when packeges are deleted. I have a root filesystem mounted in a RAID0 (/dev/md0) and when a package is deleted with 'rpm -e' the corresponding disk space is not freed according to 'df'. Everything else seems to work. When erasing files with 'rm', df correctly displays the bigger available space. Does someone know if either "rpm" or "md0 driver" or "df" has a bug ? Any help would be very much appreciated.

If they are libraries that are in use, the disk space won't be freed until the last program that uses those libraries has finished. Or are you seeing something else?
Without knowing what packages are/were involved, it's gonna be hard to analyze whether libraries were involved or not. What packages? Do the packages have libraries?
