This is the output from fsck -n command

** Checking /dev/lvemc08 (/local) MOUNTED FILE SYSTEM; WRITING SUPPRESSED;
Checking a mounted filesystem does not produce dependable results.
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Inode Map
Bad Inode Map (NOT SALVAGED)
** Phase 6 - Check Block Map
Bad Block Map (NOT SALVAGED)
Filesystem integrity is not guaranteed
1768 files 1039864 blocks 926216 free

I'll try to - umount, fsck -y & mount again.

But what does Bad Inode Map (NOT SALVAGED) means?

Thanks all.

Hi

I thought that as well or you have a sparse file/s present
- that would account for the results of du << df results
but in this case du results >> df results - which is a bit of a puzzle

Might be an open file, that has been unlinked. Try using the command
fuser /dev/lvemc08 to see what processes have the filesystem open. If this
is a huge number of processes, you may have to shut down your application
to
find it.

good luck.

only. That means I'm losing about 200MB. What is using this space? How can
i recover the space?
