[plug] Dude, where is my HD space gone?

[Aesop Beetlebum]

Howdy all,
	Bit of a query to the community regarding a certain phenomenon I am 
witnessing regarding a 120GB HD, which formats as ext3 to 111GB useable 
space and is 100% full at 105GB...I am thinking maybe a good defrag, but 
there seems to be little in the way of positive public opinion on such 
tools for ext3 partitions. My solution will be to empty the drive, reformat 
and copy back. But am interested in why it is, and what is causing this.

Any Ideas?

Ambrose.
