After removing files by RMAN from ocfs2 volume free space doesn't increase

 Good afternoon !!!
I want you help me with my question. We have two-node RAC 10.2.0.4 x86_64 on SLES 10 SP2 x86_64. Datafiles located on raw devices. Flash recovery area located on ocfs2 volume (ocfs2 version is 1.4.0-SLES).
Problem arises when we delete archive logs by RMAN; we can't get more free space on this ocfs2 volume.
Script is:

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
start)

  $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / <<EOD
    spool log to remove_arch.log append;
    crosscheck archivelog like '/ora/oradata/rtps/fra%';
    delete force noprompt archivelog like '/ora/oradata/rtps/fra%';
  exit
EOD

;;
esac

We can see by debugfs.ocfs2 that our deleted arch_log files now orphaned. "lsof | grep -i deleted" doesn't show any files on FRA.

Howdy, Stranger!
