resending to FS mailing list:I created this small partition of 512K bytes o=
n disk=2C I am noticing about 24% is used up before system can be mounted a=
nd used. My assumption was about 4% is supposed to be used if minfree is se=
t to 0.
    #newfs -U -l -m 0 -n -o space /dev/ad1d
    /dev/ad1d: 0.5MB (1024 sectors) block size 16384=2C fragment size 2048 =
using 1 cylinder groups of 0.50MB=2C 32 blks=2C 64 inodes with soft updates
    super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
    160
    #mount /dev/ad1d /test
    #df -H /test
    Filesystem    Size    Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
    /dev/ad1d      391k    2.0k    389k    1%    /test
    Could someone explain where the 512-391=3D121K of disk space went to? W=
hat is the relation between this used of space and total paritition size or=
 is it some fixed ratio?
    Thanks & Regards
    Naeem
