As I said, I already accounted for that. 320 000 / 1024 = 305 GB.
The correct calculation would be 320 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 = 320000000000 320000000000/1024/1024/1024 = 298 GB raw capacity You need to account for every conversion: Bytes->KB->MB->GB Amitabh _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
