Well, I realize it would be less than advertised but I just want to maximize it as much as I can. I found the -m option for the file system a good while back and it saves a lot on these larger drives. Since this is a external drive, no point in reserving any root space, since root will likely never access it after the file system is put on it. Nice to know it is a conversion thing going on tho. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
