Title: free blocks count vs df() stat()

Hi,

Before going ahead with a fsck() and applying the
patches on a RedHat 5.x system that has important data, I checked the
numbers on the file system and depending on which way to look at
it, the number for free/available space left could be 116Gb (see
#1,3) or 24Gb (see #2).

Does anyone know which to believe, 116Gb or 24Gb is free? I have
diagnostic details appended below.

Also, if the volume was created with logvol() (see #4) with the maxsize
parameter used, does that affect later growth of the file system
beyond maxsize (see #3)? My superficial understanding of inodes and
blocks does not extend to lvm() and how that affects creation-time parameters shown by tune2fs.

Thanks in advance,

Van Ly
