ext3 partition size

[George Butler]

Hi all,
     I am running fedora 11 with kernel 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP 
Fri Dec 4 00:18:53 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. I am 
noticing a partition on  my drive is reporting incorrect size with "df", 
the partition is ext3 size 204GB with about 79GB actual usage, the "df" 
result show the partition size to be 111GB, 93GB is missing. Please 
advice on what can be done to see why the system is reporting incorrect 
partition size.
