The problem is that setup-storage will first take your 100% and convert it to bytes; then it adds space needed for partition tables, extended partitions, etc. This results in that "strange" number. > I solved the problem by setting the size in the config file to 99%. > > Since I am still working on my configuration I can provide you more > information, if needed --- at least for a little while. > I think things should be exactly the way you want them to be if you use "0-" instead of "100%". Could you give that a try. I'm not sure whether I'd call this a bug or just a problem of interpreting values. Maybe we should first sum up overhead costs, subtract that from the disk size and then evalute relative values such as "100%". Not sure, though. Hope this helps, Michael
