File problem question

Hi,

I have a problem with xfs filesystem. I have lost a file. So:

root@rigodon log # pwd
/var/log
root@rigodon log # ls -al lastlog
- -r--------  1 root root 146292 ago 11 10:44 lastlog
root@rigodon log # du -sh * | grep lastlog
7,6G    lastlog

I have a file witch size is 7,6 GB. However, if I ls -al is another
file. Seems like filesystems is being corrupted.

How can I delete 7,6 G file?
Is this dangerous? Is there any another action that I shoud do?

Thanks in advance

    is that a typo or is there a space in the permission field?

What does xfs_check say? Which (linux?-)kernel are you using? If you are 
about to xfs_*, please make sure you have the *latest* xfsprogs[0], 
which is 2.8.10-1 right now...

This is an error when I did copy/paste

I did't run xfs_check yet. I have to disconnect the server because I
have to unmount the filesystem in orden to run the program (I ll do it
after holidays if there is not risk).

xfsprogs version: 2.6.13-2
Kernel: 2.6.9-1.667smp
Distro: Fedora Core release 3

I think I have found the response.
lastlog is a special "sparse file".

When du -sh command is executed, the space that shows is unreal.
ls -al shows the good one disk usage.

Then, all seems is normal.

Thanks anyway!
