thanx guys. learn something new every day. I actually noticed that my smaller volumes display the same 'discrepancy'..., but it only became a concern after 'loosing' 10gb :). hehe. should've realized that myself right away.
is this true though that soft updates use additional disk space ??

Does this look weird or what ??
Nope, looks fine to me :)
This is a mirrored vinum volume created from 2 partitions fully taking up 2 73gb drives. vinum shows this as 68gb volume, which I guess is ok considering kb>mb>gb calculation rip-off, but losing 10gb after newfsing is something new. The only other thing I did is turn on soft updates, but I wouldn't expect that too 'steal' 10 gb also. anyone ?
5gb :)
UFS keep x% of the drive unavailable from anyone but root as part of the filesystem optimisations, you can turn this off if you want with tunefs but expect a performance hit from it.
