    could be an inode count?

        Reserved Space is at 200M only.  Plus the 300M of
            wasted space, leaves me still with 1GB or so unaccounted --
            this is about 30% of the partition.  :-(

          
        

          
        I also had rebooted the server already and forced and
            fsck on reboot.  It didn't help.  :-(  :-(
        

        
        Maybe there's a problem with df because dumpe2fs is showing
          free blocks whereas df (even without the -h parameter) is
          showing 0.  When I get the chance, I'll try to backport a
          newer version.  The server by the way is running Ubuntu 8.04.

            Mike,

            

            There's a reserved block count in the dumpe2fs output that
            you can

            check to see how much space is kept available for root to
            use for

            maintenance and elbow room. This is usually set to 5% of
            actual

            partition size and can be adjusted using tune2fs. Check out
            the -m

            (percent) and -r (number of blocks) options of tune2fs in
            the man

            page.

             Assuming that I'm wasting about 1 block per file, it would
            equate to 297MB of wasted space.  While it is a big pile of
            wasted space, it is still not 1.6GB -- there's still 1.3GB
            that I can't account for.
