[Gllug] Disk space anomaly

[Nix]

On 21 Jan 2009, gunzip spake thusly:
> Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
> /dev/sda7            280030396 201440388  64365256  76% /
> /dev/sda1               147764     16652    123483  12% /boot
> none                   2022368         0   2022368   0% /dev/shm
> //Backup/Projects    312057856  24420352 287637504   8% /mnt/Projects

> .... ie. 200GB disk space used. Where did the other 44GB go?

not accounted for by du (which shows only blocks allocated). Journals
are often many hundreds of Mb each, as well.
