Ok, this happened with the default version of fileutils that comes with
Redhat 7 (fileutils 4.0x-3). Basically, I have the 2.4.0 kernel, and an
ATA100 drive that is 40 gigs. df tells me that it is way more:
[matt@linux matt]$ df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 19465392 6337260 12139336 35% /
/dev/sda4 98078 83852 14226 86% /mnt/zip
/dev/hde1 312624644 294071432 18553212 95% /mnt/nt
using -h doesn't seem to help:
/dev/hde1 298G 281G 17G 95% /mnt/nt
I upgraded to the latest version:
[matt@linux matt]$ df --version
df (GNU fileutils) 4.0.36
and the problem still exists.
dmesg, on the other hand, shows the correct size:

I have the drive formatted in NTFS (evil!), and maybe that is the reason
that it does something like that. Anyway, thanks, I'm not used to
sending in bug reports, so I don't know if I'm doing this right, or
whatever :) ...but hey, at least I'm not using Windows, right :)
PS. I couldn't check this with the 2.2.x kernels because they wouldn't
see the promise ATA 100 controller (see the dmesg log), so my drive
wouldn't even be there.
