When partitioning the RAID with Ubuntu the graphic showed the full 160GB of
drive space, but FC4 shows 152GB? I went ahead with FC4, but before I
become reliant on this is there a quick fix?
Probably no fix. Some manufactures [1] define 1 GB to be 1000 MB and 1
MB to be 1000 KB. Some define 1 GB = 1024 MB and 1 MB to be 1024 KB (as
it should be).
So say the manufacture decides to use a factor of 1000.
That gives 160 GB = 160000000 bytes.
Now calculate it based on 1024 MB / GB
160000000 / 1024^2 = 152.58 GB
So your 8 GB is lost to funky marketing and one distro reporting in
factors of 1000 and another reporting in factors of 1024.
