Hi,
i have a trouble with a ocfs2 partition.

The "df -kh" command reports 63 GB of free space but only can use about 
5 GB of this free space !!
Then, the ocfs2 partition is wasting 58 GB of free space !!?

df -kh
S.ficheros          Tamaño Usado  Disp Uso% Montado en
/dev/sda1             300G  238G   63G  80% /home/mail

This are the mount options of the partition:

mount
/dev/sda1 on /home/mail type ocfs2 (rw,_netdev,heartbeat=local)

The 300 GB ocfs2 partition is the mail storage of thousands of mail users.

The block size of the partition is 1K to theorically prevent  fragmentation:

tunefs.ocfs2 -q -Q "BS=%5B\n" /dev/sda1
BS= 1024

There are so many free inodes:

df -i
S.ficheros           Nodos-i NUsados NLibres NUso% Montado en
/dev/sda1            78642183 62356449 16285734   80% /home/mail


So, what is the problem with this partition?

Thanks in advanced

Regards,
Pablo
