[ILUG] Shrinking partition

[ILUG] Shrinking partition

We have a computer running Debian, kernel 2.2.2 It has a 10GB disk
partitioned as follows:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1665 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       382   3068383+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2           383       460    626535   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3           461      1665   9679162+  83  Linux

The problem is that the third partition is coming up as being much smaller
than it should be:
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3               101107     97732         0 100% /local

Has anyone any ideas what could cause this? The relevant bit of /etc/fstab
is:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>               <dump>
<pass>
/dev/hda1       /               ext2    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/hda2       none            swap    sw                      0       0
/dev/hda3       /local          ext2    defaults                0       2
proc            /proc           proc    defaults                0       0


TIA,
Eoin
