Its all about how you interprets k, M and G. In base 10 one k is 1000 but in base 2 it is 1024. G is 1000000000 in base 10 but 1073741824 in base 2. Disk manufactors are using base 10 and computers base 2. So if the disk manufactor say its 200Gb it would be about 186Gb in OpenBSD. But dmesg reports what size OpenBSD think the disk has. -moj > -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?
