I don't see any errors, and it still reports 1M blocks @4k/block -> 4G
Although the blocks in use are very high, 469k -> 1.6G (48%)
In contrast, df reports 770M/3G in use (28%). So if there's 1G that
is somehow hidden from that total, adding it to both sides gives
roughly
1.8G/4G which is close to the 1.6G reported in use above.
du -sh says 745M is in use.
Reserved blocks reported by dumpe2fs is only 5% of the block count, so
they can't account for the difference.
e2fs also reports 621488 free blocks, roughly 2.4GB. That is roughly
consistent with free space reported by df, even though their total
space counts disagree.
Maybe the data management structures, which were originally
appropriate for a filesystem 1000x larger than the one I have now, are
somehow chewing up blocks in some way not directly reported? But it
seems quite a coincidence that the reported drive size by df matches
the earlier shrunken size of 3G so well.
