Creating tempfiles does not reduce available disk space reported by "df "

Hi,


We are running a veritas filesystem, on Solaris 8. 



I have created a tempfile temporary tablespace, but when looking 
at the filesystem where it is created with "df", the used/free space 
stays the same, it does not change until the tablespace is used. 
But I can confirm the file size using "ls -l". I have since managed to
create tempfiles that do not fit in the filesystem, that then causes the
dbw to get "out of space" messages from the OS and the file goes offline.



Does anyone know why this is? 



Regards



Pete
