It means you have more free space than it is reported in the free blocks
counters.
Bitmaps are maps with which FS is tracking blocks usage.
If you are running kernel 2.4.16 or older, this might be because
some aplication deleted some files, but still have the files open,
andthen crash occured.
2.4.16 or earlier kernels are not recommended to use.
