Andreas.... thanks for the suggestion, I did a <b>resize2fs -d -p
/dev/sdb8</b> on the partition and is now showing the size and disk
usage correctly. <br>
<br>
Thanks for your advise.<br>

why the system is reporting incorrect partition size.

It definitely looks strange. Did you resize this partition after it
was created? In any case, running "resize2fs /dev/sdb8" should enlarge
the
<br>
filesystem to fill the partition.
