This never happened to me! I used AFS on an IDE drive as long as it's been available and 
it never (since 15.9)gave me that space. I don't use the Trashcan anymore, by the way. 
AFS is crap IMHO. Errors all the time. Now I'll see what it does to my SCSI drive. I 
paid enough for it, I hope it works at least there. By the way, it's actually slower on 
the SCSI drive than FFS (tested with DTA) at pure transfer rate. Crap, crap, crap.
