the kernel. I will try 2.5.54 soon,too.

yes, it does.

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

====> now trying with 2.5.54 <====

df (fileutils) 4.1

and the cdrom is again 505 MB big...

505M    /mnt/dvd/


==> 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?
