I don’t think so.  A 40 GB drive should be around 37.3 GiB, not 31 GiB.

To the original poster, what does the result of “df -H” show?

The results for me are as follows:
$ df -h # G = GiB
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hde2             112G  6.6G  100G   7% /
/dev/hde1              97M  6.2M   86M   7% /boot

$ df -H # G = GB
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hde2              120G   7.1G   107G   7% /
/dev/hde1              102M   6.5M    90M   7% /boot
