As others have mentioned, this could be still-open files that have
been deleted.  It could also be that ocfs2 is leaking free space.  I
thought journaling file systems didn't have "orphan" files after
reboot, but I could be wrong.

I think I have seen ocfs2 leak free space even during normal
operation, but I am still working on reproducing it.

If you do run fsck.ocfs2 -- you probably want to use "fsck.ocfs2 -fy"
-- could you please send the output to the list?

Thanks.
