Thanks for the hint but no such easy luck. pdisk shows all the right partition sizes. What's confusing about this is that du -h and df -h were showing the correct sizes a few weeks ago (this is a server box). Now it's df -h that's off (and, presumably nautilus uses df -h because nautilus too reports virtually no free space).
