I still think this is probably expected and cleaned up properly by gfs. When you mount you should see something like this: GFS: fsid=bull:x.2: jid=2: Trying to acquire journal lock... GFS: fsid=bull:x.2: jid=2: Looking at journal... GFS: fsid=bull:x.2: jid=2: Done GFS: fsid=bull:x.2: Scanning for log elements... GFS: fsid=bull:x.2: Found 48 unlinked inodes GFS: fsid=bull:x.2: Found quota changes for 0 IDs GFS: fsid=bull:x.2: Done It suspect the unlinked inodes found by fsck are the same as those gfs finds in the journal when mounting. Note that a cleanly shut down journal may still have records of unlinked inodes that need to be deallocated. You may need to mount/unmount all of the journals (so all journals are replayed). something like mount -t gfs /dev/foo /gfs -o lockproto=lock_nolock hostdata=jid=0 umount /gfs mount -t gfs /dev/foo /gfs -o lockproto=lock_nolock hostdata=jid=1 umount /gfs mount -t gfs /dev/foo /gfs -o lockproto=lock_nolock hostdata=jid=2 umount /gfs etc and then gfs may clean them up (deallocate) asynchronously after the mount has completed, I'm not sure.
