yes, it does. but at least is the size now correct in -h.

==> so coreutils at least prints correct human values...
I am still thinking it could be a kernel bug..so I am rebooting to
2.4.21-pre2.
But this does not make a difference...

nice,1002 lines of code in df.c.. okay, let's have a look into it...
(currently I think it _could_ be a kernel bug, so I will pass this message
alon to lkml)
I had a quick view at the code, but didn't have the time to look into
it closely. Perhaps the next days!
Am I the only one where df reports wrong disk space?
