I know this may sound silly but, what are the other partitions of the drive. Could the missing space be there? Need to know? as root try pdisk "pdisk /dev/hdc" then "pdisk -l" This should show you what partitions are on the drive as well as the size of each. I just learned a little bit of "pdisk". So this is why I ask. Hope this helps a lil bit, as it were.
