Something strange happened when a backup in one Linux system stop to work.
After some digging I find a 287Mb file in a filesystem that has 250Mb of
used space.

excerpts:

[root@panda logs]# l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 287233833 Nov 1 15:23 access.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3787927 Nov 1 15:20 cache.log
-rw------- 1 acme acme 1015808 Oct 29 02:28 core
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2043551 Nov 1 15:23 hierarchy.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 287233181 Nov 1 15:23 t
^^^^^^^^^
287Mb
[root@panda logs]# pwd
/usr/local/squid/logs

[root@panda logs]# df

/dev/hda6 507423 253514 227703 53% /usr
^^^^^^
250Mb

Is this a bug in ext2fs???

The system is a Redhat linux 3.0.3 Picasso.
