Strang df -h output

[Andreas Laumann]

Yeah. something is really wrong with reporting disk usages since  last
few days rawhide updates.

First seen after the famous gawk broke my initrd 

justine [8:34] root /etc#df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3              41G  2.9G   36G   8% /
none                  632M     0  632M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1              14G  8.4G  4.2G  67% /vmware

btw same w/o -h 

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3             42829268   2947356  37706312   8% /
none                    646716         0    646716   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1             13844044   8770988   4369816  67% /vmware


Hmm last time i had ~10G free on / but now my partition has 36G free ???

My home dir on that partition  contains 16796m of data 

justine [8:42] root /home/xl#du -ms .
16796   .

Looks like a curvature of space on my disks ;)  nice.
