It looks like you have a 15G filesystem on a 25G partition. Did you
increase the partition size at some point?

I think the two are unrelated. This probably happened because you copied
some files to /mnt/ms when the filesystem you usually have mounted there
was not mounted, so those files are actually in the root partition.
