Thanks, Alan. My hard drive usage after doing a fsck -cfy dropped 4%...and yet, no warnings from it; it did note that it modified things, but didn't say what. Mission accomplished...again, thank you very much!
P.S. Koji is MUCH faster now. I don't know what you guys did to it yesterday whilst it was down for maintenance, but that was getting annoying, going to the website and waiting up to a minute for it to load, and then another 20-30 seconds for an additional page to come up. Kudos!
