partition not freeing it's space after deleting files from it

Yes, looks like reboot does not cleanly unmount the filesystems so the
fsck is run on boot. The strange thing is if I stoped all the daemons
and tried to unmount /var, the machine freezes.
This part is also strange:
I've started to move /var things to /usr, just because I didn't know
what to do more. I've moved /var/log to /usr ... then I've moved postfix
spool to /usr and discovered that now, /usr is not freeing it's space
any more and /var is begining to free it's space if i create and delete
something from it.
Strange... I've upgraded postfix from 2.0.13 to 2.0.16 and now the disks
are freeing space for 3 days now. It's early to say that fixed the
problem but at this time it looks like it.
Don't ask how, i don't get it, can not find any connection between
postfix and this problem.
Does this make a bell ring to anyone ? :-)
