There are no holes, there is nothing to recover. It just means that 10% of the files are not allocated as a single contiguous string of blocks, which makes reading these files just a little bit slower. Nothing to worry about. If you really want to "defrag" the file system, then copy everything to another partition, recreate the file system, and copy everything back: cd /parti1; tar -cf - . | (cd /parti2; tar -xpvf -) But this isn't worth the time it costs.
