Hey all,
  I have a friend setting up a dataware house and I convinced him to
put it on a Linux box.  Right now it's not critical so we're just
testing bandwidth, etc.  At any point, he has a 40 Gig drive in
it and wants to keep it as a 40Gig disk, not a collection of 4s, etc...
He is having some problems.  Here is the output he sent me:

> blocks count for group 0, stored = 31727, counted = 31740

Anyone have any ideas?  We need to hammer this out quickly or his boss will
start pushing for NT again.
