I am installing a new 6.2 STABLE system and I am troubled by the amount of available disk space I'm getting on one of my IDE devices: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on ... ... /dev/ad1a 289G 4.0K 266G 0% /ad1 This drive is 320 GB by the manufacturer and thus I should theoretically have 305 GBs. This is confirmed by dmesg: ad1: 305244MB <WDC WD3200JB-00KFA0 08.05J08> at ata0-slave UDMA33 Steps: # fdisk -i /dev/ad1 # bsdlabel -w /dev/ad1 # newfs /dev/ad1a # mount /dev/ad1a /ad1 Info: # bsdlabel /dev/ad1 # /dev/ad1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 625140319 16 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 c: 625140335 0 unused 0 0 Thanks in advance for any pointers, PM
