Somewhere in the handbook is says when you format a drive there will be around 10% of the drive reserved for root. I think you can change that number but you will have to look in the handbook for that. Hope this helps >From Grant. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
