A newly installed CentOS 6 / Bacula 5 backup server is reporting
this when backing itself up:

  FD Bytes Written:       53,655,908,904 (53.65 GB)
  SD Bytes Written:       53,664,006,577 (53.66 GB)
  Last Volume Bytes:      53,705,852,928 (53.70 GB)

Which is truly amazing because the actual amount of data stored
on this system is far less than that:

[r2d2@backup ~]$ LANG=C df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_backup-lv_root
                       50G  2.2G   45G   5% /
tmpfs                 1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             485M   47M  413M  11% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_backup-lv_home
                      174G  2.4G  163G   2% /home

Any explanations for that discrepancy?

No configuration data included because I don't have any idea
what might even be relevant.

Thanks,
Tilman
