Filesystems always reserve some space for internal use, so the size
reported by df is always smaller than the total number of block on the
devices.

What does
      od -D -j 65536 -N 4 /dev/md1
show.  This is the size the reiserfs thinks it is using.  Multiply by
4 and you should get 77642048 or maybe a little less.  If you get
more, then reiserfs think the device is bigger than it is.  If don't
then I have no idea what the problem is.
