The filesystem is smaller than the partition? This could happen if mkfs wrongly detected the partition size. I've not seen this happen except when I've had cause to do raw copies of partitions, but you can check this by doing: dumpe2fs /dev/sda3 | grep 'Block.*:' (the last part so it doesn't fill your screen) Multiply 'Block count' by 'Block size' and compare this with your figures above. If it's the same as what df is reporting, then your filesystem isn't using the whole partition, and you should probably back up and recreate it, probably giving the real size to mkfs. If it's the same as what cfdisk reports, I don't have a clue what's going on. :) -- Jessica Mayo.
