df shows the available space for files, not including filesystem metadata.
fdisk will show the actual size of the partition.  I suspect yours may be
just a bit too big.

Your other partitions are definitely too big for the hurd to handle currently.
2GB is definitely too big, and much over 1GB is probably too big.
