Read "14.3 Nonproblem: fdisk sees much more room than df?"
in the Large Disk HOWTO
http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk-14.html#ss14.3
and see whether you are satisfied afterwards.
Otherwise check fdisk -l and/or fdisk -s /dev/hdc1 output.
Below a 35 GB example.
# df
...
/dev/hde4 822216 685020 95428 88% /b1
/dev/hde5 27707420 22096088 4181148 84% /b2
# fdisk -s /dev/hde
35673120
# fdisk -s /dev/hde5
28603701
# tune2fs -l /dev/hde5 | grep size:
Block size: 4096
...
# tune2fs -l /dev/hde5 | grep count:
Inode count: 7155168
Block count: 7150925
Reserved block count: 357546
...
With ext2, make sure you use sparse superblocks and blocksize 4096.
