Now, 40,000,000,000 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 37 GB df -H /dev/hdb1 might give you a bit different sizes (since it uses multiplies of 1000, not 1024). > fdisk creates a partition of 39078081 blocks 39,078,081 * 1024 = 40 GB (assuming GNU block size of 1024 bytes) > df -h /dev/hdb1 gives me only 37G available - ( now it is 9.5G used + 25G > Avail = 34.5G ) As others already said, some percentage of the disk went to root-only usage. -- Best regards, Ilya Konstantinov ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
