Here is my calculations on the available partition size.
From the end of hda5 +1 (8103 Cyl) to the start of hda3 -1 (9472 Cyl)
is 1627 Cyls. * 8225280 bytes/Cylinder divided 1 GB (1024*1024*1024)
= 10.4870 GB
[(9472-8103)*8225280/(1024*1024*1024) = 10.4870]
Keep in mind that there is overhead associated with the layout of a file
system which means there is always less space than the nominal disk
size. Super block backups, inode numbers and sizes among other things
influence the amount of overhead. See fs (5), dumpfs (8) and related
man pages for more information.
I believe you made a fencepost error.
That should be (9473-8102)*8225280/(1024^3) ~ 10.5024

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
