Connecting my new Seagate IDE 40Gb hard disk: fdisk creates a partition of 39078081 blocks mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdb1 df -h /dev/hdb1 gives me only 37G available - ( now it is 9.5G used + 25G Avail = 34.5G ) Seems something goes wrong, I have lost about 15 % of disk space at this moment, with the disk relatively empty. Should I play with cluster size or any other parameters ? Answering "RTFM" with URLs would be kindly appreciated. Regards, "Unix IS user friendly, it is just selective about who his friends are."
