The files appeared removed from the filesystem but the results of a `df -h /var/lib/mysql` showed that no disk space has been cleared. A `du -sh /var/lib/mysql` on the other hand says that ~ 30GB was removed. 

	Others have pointed you to 'fsck -f'.  What I want to know is
whether you had any nodes die or killed while this filesystem was
running?  Eg an 'xm destroy' of a vm that had the filesystem mounted.
That sort of thing.
