That's really interesting actually. The web server holds over 18 thousand images, mostly of around a hundred and odd kilobytes..... Your explanation would make perfect sense. dumpe2fs reports a block size of 4096. It's not hard to imagine that with that may small files, there will be some loss. By jove you might have cracked it!
