I just moved a 200GB hard drive from a 3.7 box to a 4.0 box, and since
my data was all backed up, I decided to run disklabel, create a fresh
partition that spanned the whole disk, and then run newfs on that
partition. I expect to not have all 200GB, between the whole issue of
poorly labeled disk sizes and the 5% reserved by default. What I don't
expect, however, is to see ** 22% ** of my disk already in use:
-bash-3.1$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0a 7.3G 78.9M 6.9G 1% /
/dev/wd0d 22.0G 512M 20.4G 2% /usr
/dev/wd0e 7.2G 6.7M 6.8G 0% /var
/dev/wd1a 183G 38.0G 136G 22% /mnt
Can anyone explain this? Have I done something wrong here? More
importantly, is there a simple way to remedy this and get my 38GB back?
