Disk space wastage 73 GB Hard disk
Hi Guys and Gals,
I have formatted 73 GB seagate SCSI hard disk in Red Hat Linux 7.3 ext3 file system. It is showing only 63 GB. I am unable to use 10 GB of disk space which is totally wasted. Please help me in this regard. |
it'll be due to block sizes and so forth, there's nothing you can do about it, except maybe splitting it into a number of smaller partitions and then using a smaller blocksize when you format.
have a look at these pages http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Partition/formating.html http://developer.novell.com/research...june/03/04.htm |
Yep, use reiserFS it formats the disk in 1kb chunks, if you plan on creating small files (like html's, text files, etc.) you can't go wrong with reiserFS.
