Here it is, thanks:
[root@polaris ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
^^^^^^^^
so your disk really is 250GB in size. Which logical, since I have never
seen 350GB disks, only 300GB and 320GB...
(If you want more proof, run
# hdparm -I /dev/sda
which gives you the info on the drive, for example
/dev/sda:
