Am a bit confused how this error occurred in the first place apparently was a standard Centos 5.x install. So maybe a bug in the installer?

Is there some reserved disk space? IDE disks can have some space reserved for "recovery". Linux can be made to recognise that or ignore it. If the reservation is ignored at installation time and then recognised later then it would result in a truncated partition. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
