Its all about how you interprets k, M and G. In base 10 one k is 1000 but
in base 2 it is 1024. G is 1000000000 in base 10 but 1073741824 in base 2.
Disk manufactors are using base 10 and computers base 2. So if the disk
manufactor say its 200Gb it would be about 186Gb in OpenBSD. But dmesg
reports what size OpenBSD think the disk has.
Your point being? df already takes that into consideration. Did you look:
$ df -h

He's asking about the 38G, not the difference between 200 and 183.
