So your disk has 72 * 10^3^3 (= 72'000'000'000) Bytes. freeBSD works - like every other OS i know - not decimal but dual. Therefor the disk has 67.055225 * 2^10^3 (= 72'000'000'000) Bytes. > sucks# uname -nmr > sucks.wananchi.com 5.1-RELEASE-p10 i386 > > sucks# df -h > Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/da0s1a 64G 1.8G 57G 3% / > devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev Here we have our 67GiByte disk without the 2GiByte Swap, and a little bit of unused space due to Sector 63 thingies. So da0s1a ends up having 64GiByte of which iirc 8-10% are reserved and used for filesystem optimizations. Makes 57GiByte available with 3% (or 1.8Gi) being used. So everything is there, it's just a little math. And yes, it's quite a pain in the ass, but you will get used to it ;] Joerg
