sdc2 and sdc3 should be the same size, and according to fdisk, they are. Why does df show them as different sizes?

| Did you maybe format sdc2 when it was a smaller partition, and then forget to reformat it when you increased the partition size? |

Nope...I formatted everything at the same time, right after I partitioned it, before I mounted it for the first time. The drive was new, so it wasn't like an old partition got mounted by mistake.
I backed up the drive, re-partitioned and reformatted, and the problem happened in exactly the same way.

| That's really strange... I don't know what to tell you. Does it do the same thing with different filesystems? |

Don't know...I've tried it with ext3 and ext2. When I format, the two sets of format messages are the same, i.e., same number of superblocks, and so on.

Figured it out, I think. It was somehow still using the partition on a different drive as home, but somehow using two different fstab files, depending on what stage of the boot it was in. I found this out when I formatted the other drive and everything borked.
