release disk space by drop database ?

Hi all,

OS. linux 2.4.22
MYsql : 4.0.18-standard

I created a database and populate 2 big InnoDB tables, the total size
is > 3G. After all testing, I droped the database .

But, the harddisk space is not release to the filesystem, Why, How
could I recover that ?

Thanks.

Section 14.2.8 DROP DATABASE Syntax of the online user manual has user
comments that imply foreign key constraints may prevent some or all
tables from being removed. One suggests issuing this:
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
prior to the drop to avoid the problem.
