need some help with bad df

[Kresimir Sparavec]

df
/dev/sdb1            2048615532     32832 2048582700   1% /raid1
/dev/sdc1            2050690816     32840 2050657976   1% /raid2
df -i
/dev/sdb1            16022528      12 16022516    1% /raid1
/dev/sdc1            4294967295       0 4294967295    0% /raid2

these are two 2TB partitions on external RAID arrays, /dev/sdb1 formatted as
ext3, /dev/sdc1 as reiser3 under 2.4.27 vanilla kernel. the number of inodes
on /dev/sdb1 is reduced from what would be default. I guess >1TB problems
were fixed in vanilla kernel somewhere down the road after 2.4.20.
