I get 38753256 total space using df, and 39062016 total space using fdisk -l. I think the difference has to do with overhead in the filesystem. In your case, the big difference suggests something wrong with the filesystem. Did you, for example, re-size that partition? Can you boot from live CD, or another OS, and run fsck?
