That might account for it.

Hmmmm...well, if one of those partitions could be backed up (or you don't
mind possibly losing the contents :-), you might try re-zapping one with
Mkfs (but not rerunning mkfs, if that makes sense).  I don't think this
will hurt anything, but others will know far more about this than I do.

I hope this helps.

Later.
