That's right. It seems it all depends on the blocksize. I have tried different
blocksizes on one of my 50MB partition and here is my result:

Blocksize Mounter tool shows

512 b 50 MB (Correct)
1024 b 100 MB
2048 b 200 MB
4096 b 400 MB

32768 b 3 GB (totally wrong, but nice if it was true..8) )

...this means there is a bug in the Mounter tool that should be fixed soon. Maybe in BB2 !?
