4,253,276 * 1024 = 4,355,354,624. Getting closer (they usually count a kilo as 1000 to inflate numbers). Changing the block size to a large number will also reduce the formatting info written to the disk, increasing the avail space, but also increasing the wasted space by small files. (winblows will probably use a much larger block size.) Does that help?
