Missing space in reiserfs partition

Well, who knows what evil....

I ran mkfs /dev/hdc6 - t ext2 and all was fine.
Then I ran mkfs /dev/hdc6 -t ext3, and all was fine.
Then I ran mkfs /dev/hdc6 -t reiserfs again, and all was fine, too.

So, I have no idea why the first attempt resulted in lost of storage
capacity.

Here is the current output of df -h after running the three above commands:
/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              38G  7.7G   30G  21% /disks/hdc6

So, I must have done something wrong the first time I mkfs'ed -t reiserfs.
