When I run the FAU, I see "Lost Blocks Only", where the manual says it should be "Lost Blocks/Extent Cache"

A "lost block" is a disk block marked as allocated, but not actually part of any file. "Extent Cache" refers to blocks which are preassigned to the extent cache.

If the FAU is running with SYSPRV, the message will read "Lost Blocks Only" because the extent cache blocks are taken into account in free space calculations. If it is running with the READALL privilege, you will see the message "Lost Blocks/Extent Cache", because the FAU has insufficient privilege to check the extent cache.
