I have a problem with one of my disks.
I can't get back part of the unused space no matter
how I try. The /dev/sdb1 is never up to date.

I boot the /redhat as root and then e2fsck /dev/sdb1, mount it, unmount it ...
Nothing helps.
There is currently a difference of 102814.
Is this the way it should be?

Yes. 5% is reserved for the superuser, unless you change it with
tune2fs -m. I think that's what you think is `lost'.
