Missing space in reiserfs partition

I have an 80 gig drive. It had been in a previous system. I had made
partitions 1-5 (ext2).

I just put in into a new debian system (lindows) and made a reiserfs
partition on it, hdc6.  Here is my current partition table:

disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 9732 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1             1         7     56196   83  Linux
/dev/hdc2             8        15     64260   83  Linux
/dev/hdc3            16        90    602437+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hdc4            91      9732  77449365    5  Extended
/dev/hdc5            91      4800  37833043+  83  Linux
/dev/hdc6          4801      9732  39616258+  83  Linux

Here is df -h

/dev/hdc1              53M   13k   50M   1% /disks/hdc1
/dev/hdc2              61M   13k   57M   1% /disks/hdc2
/dev/hdc5              34G  1.3G   31G   4% /disks/hdc5
/dev/hdc6             9.2G  7.7G  1.5G  84% /disks/hdc6

So, hdc5 and hdc6 have essentially the same number of blocks, but there
are 34 gigs of space with ext2 and only 9.2 with reiserfs.

Any insight appreciated,

Thanks,
Joel
