Okay, someone help explain this one to me.  I've never seen this happen before.

We've got a 4.2G disk and a 73G disk in this system.

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c0t0d0 <SUN4.2G cyl 3880 alt 2 hd 16 sec 135>
          /pci at 1f,4000/scsi at 3/sd at 0,0
       1. c0t1d0 <SEAGATE-ST173404LCV-4301 cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
          /pci at 1f,4000/scsi at 3/sd at 1,0

Primary label contents:

ncyl        = 14087

slice 0 is pretty much "entire disk".  68.35G.

but from a "df -k":

/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0    15493995 13950746 1388310    91%    /export/home/hog2      

Again, "what the heck"
