Oh, and these wonderful kernel messages:

Feb 4 10:56:32 alb-ndm kernel: XFS: Filesystem sd(8,5) has duplicate UUID - can't mount
Feb 4 10:57:05 alb-ndm kernel: XFS: Filesystem sd(8,5) has duplicate UUID - can't mount

This is kernel 2.4.18 w/ XFS1.1.  Kernel upgrade not an (immediate) option.


The unmount failed beause xfs thought something was still busy, but the kernel did not. Looks like a reference count leak somewhere in the old kernel.

If you reboot and run repair you should be ok.

Those unlinked bucket messages refer to unlinked inodes which should
have been freed at some point. They probably still have a reference
count inside xfs which means they did not get freed. This is where
your space has gone.
