my problem is I dont know what happened, it occurred during a botched
attempt at using the f10liveinstall cd to install (but backed out)
It wasnt my intention to do anything to sda1 ( my target for install was sdb6)
but somehow it clobbered sda1 contents,
as seen by df, size 190M only 0.19G
I dont know what that liveinstall attempt actually did
but the _size_ as seen by fdisk is original size~21G
so this tells me there was no resizing of the partition
but df says size greatly reduced to 190M=0.19G
I am now leery of doing anything until i understand what fdisk, df tell me
I suppose my only choice now is to go ahead and reformat

I will check out info or man page on resize2fs, thanks

I dont think that is correct.
I dont know exact def of blocks
but cyls*8225280bytes ~ 21G
this also checks well on my sdb6
where i am now booted up in my fc5copy
/dev/sdb6 1302 2321 8193118+ 83 Linux
(2321-1302)*8225280= 8381560320 bytes
Any other explanations as to how
size reported by fdisk not same as size from df?
