Sorry, I think you've mistaken my question. I've referred the above FAQ 
before framing this mail.

The above FAQ explains why the _free_ space shown by 'df' isn't 
accurate. I'm concerned here about the _total_ size shown to me by df, 
which is less than what is reported by ubinfo.

Thanks,
Vikram
