<br> If you have lots of small files, it could happen. The basic space allocation unit is one block. If I am not mistaken on OCFS2 the default is 4k.<br><br> A quick search on google shows that Reiserfs can coalesce small files together and save space.<br><br> You could try to format your OCFS partition with a smaller block size, near the average file size.<br><br> Other possible explanation for this (That is, without filesystem corruption) is a large file that was deleted but is still in use by some process. The space remains allocated until you kill the process.<br><br>Regards,<br>Luis<br><br><b><i>"Michael M." <michael@gsc.cc></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)"> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */
