I'm seeing output from `df -h' that I've never seen before.  Not sure
when it started but I think it could only be a matter of days at most
since I last ran `df -h' for some reason.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

[...] some unnecessary stuff snipped

Note the strange output for /dev/hda2 (/mnt/pack)
What on earth does that mean?

That partition actually has 2.6 gigs of data on it by `du' reconning:

du -sh /mnt/pack
2.6G    /mnt/pack

Its not a symlink or something:

  ls -ld /mnt/pack
drwxr-xr-x  10 reader reader 4096 Sep  4 10:54 /mnt/pack

So what is that output telling me?
