I've seen this same problem. There is absolutely _no_ damage involved.
The only problem you'll have is that you won't know how full some of your
partitions are. I'm not quite sure where the problem is, but I think that
it results from having your first usr partition at `g', and the next one
at `e'. The problem might be in disksubr.c, but then again, it might just
be in df...
Later.
