Just doing the math....
(Block count * Block size) / 1024^4
(632648704 * 4096) / 1024^4 = 2.35 TB
So, what you are seeing in df is accurate as far as the filesystem is
concerned....
So, my thoughts are that perhaps someone originally created the logical
volumes at 2.4TB, created the filesystems, and then tried to extend the
logical volumes with lvextend? Of course, while lvextend will grow the
underlying logical volume it does not grow the filesystem. That is done
with the ext2online command, if the filesystem is mounted, and with
resize2fs if the filesystem is unmounted.
Can you check to see which of those two utilities you have available in
FC2? Whether you have both resize2fs and ext2online? Of course,
resizing the filesystem is potentially dangerous and presumes good
quality backups, and read, lots of disclaimers at this point about
eating your data for lunch......

I created the volumes myself, all at once. I verified the size of the
volume at each step. I had thought that it's possible that ext3 only
formatted the 2.4TB extent and that resizing it might work.
Fortunately I have one of these volumes not in use so I can test that
and see how it goes. Thanks for all your help on this.
Just an update on this. It seems as if the mke2fs version that comes
with FC2 when used with a large lvm volume will only create the fs up to
2TB. When I used resize2fs on the volume the system extended the fs to
the full extent of the volume. Thanks Robert, for all your help on
this. I certainly do appreciate it.
