Thanks guys. > > /dev/ad1s1e 120G 89G 15G 86% /mirror > /dev/ad2s1e 120G 12K 101G 0% /mirror2 Don't forget that 8% of the drive (by default, it's configurable) is reserved. Thus, a drive that shows 110G is actually right about 120G in size (110 * 1.08 = 118.8). `tunefs -p <device>` will give you the actual value that is reserved for any particular filesystem. -T -- Page 30: Leaving a terminal logged in is like leaving your car unlocked with the keys in the ignition. - Harley Hahn, _The Unix Companion_ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
