  At least the file system claim is erroneous.  From my desktop:

beirut=/>df
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda3            3464873 2203232  1082419     67%   /
/dev/hda5            10511342 2626815  7338899     26%   /home
/dev/hdb               21206   21206        0    100%   /cdrom

  I don't know what the upper limit is, but is certainly above 10.5 GB
