Hmmm... well after further investigation we don't think it was the BBWC
issue. It seems that the engineers went above and beyond the call of duty.

The initial problem reported was that df -h didn't show the 5.45 Tb
expected. The user who checked did not realise that thin volumes do not
show up like that.

So the engineers went to look for the 'missing' disk space, found the
BBWC was bad, replaced it and then decided to do some investigations on
where the missing space was.

Just found this in the bash history... my guess the volume is toast....
any suggestions welcome !
