Perhaps your lost+found directory is large? It has to be big enough to hold large numbers of orphaned files from an fsck run ... on the other hand, if you're journalled, I think you don't need it ... or at least, don't need it so large. Perhaps you could delete and re-create it - it'll probably go down to 4k if you do that ... -jim
