RE: File system overhead
If you look at the output of df -h you will see that the size of the
partition is 219GB there is only 168MB in this partition yet there is only
208GB left. This is a new server and that partition has only had things
added to it, nothing has ever been removed.
By my calculations there should be 218.8GB left, so if not the rest must be
filesystem overhead. 5 percent seems to be a bit much, but as long as I can
explain it I may be able to live with this. That is why I want a link to a
site that could explain the overhead of the ext3 filesystem.

What exactly needs explaining?
I use this little script in a file called dirsize
du -sm $(find $1 -type d -maxdepth 1 -xdev) | sort -gr
You might try (as root)
# dirsize /opt
and get some feel where stuff is hiding out.
Or are you claiming that it has no "files" in it.
If it was once very full, and you deleted the files,
then the directory structure may still be there. For
example, if you had at one time thousands of files
in /opt, but now it is empty, the directory would
still be very large. What does
# ls -ld /opt
say?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
