I installed 2 new 200gb harddrives lately. Both show up in bios as 200gb, on boot they are shown as 190gb (probably the 1000->1024 conversion), but when I create a filesystem they are only 180gb.
Now, I can live with a 20gb loss, but when I check the disks free space, they have only 166gb free with 0 gb used. Could be me, but I find 34gb a bit excessive. I hope anyone has a clue as to what I'm doing wrong.
Hope someone knows what is going on.
newfs(1) says:
-m free-space
The percentage of space reserved from normal users; the minimum
free space threshold. The default value used is defined by
MINFREE from <ufs/ffs/fs.h>, currently 8%. See tunefs(8) for
more details on how to set this option.
180 - 8% = 165.6
