Hello from Gregg C Levine As it happens I'm coming from the other side of the fence, for Linux, Intel based.
Are you taking into account the journal for your partition? That could be accounting for a portion. Then there is the lost and found work space. And then there is the work space for the computer to boot the volume. And gang, don't call me names, because I spoke up first, and out of turn. Anyway, welcome to the group. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
