Can you tell me how I'd get that particular bit of information from
debugfs.ocfs2? I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with it and the man page
isn't enlightening me at this point.

Is there also a way I could calculate roughly how much space will go to this
based on the number of existing files on the current mailstore?

Thanks
Guy
