losing disk space
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/vinum/data 67G 2.0K62G 0%/data Does this look weird or what ?? This is a mirrored vinum volume created from 2 partitions fully taking up 2 73gb drives. vinum shows this as 68gb volume, which I guess is ok considering kbmbgb calculation rip-off, but losing 10gb after newfsing is something new. The only other thing I did is turn on soft updates, but I wouldn't expect that too 'steal' 10 gb also. anyone ? thanx in advance ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nope, looks fine to me :) This is a mirrored vinum volume created from 2 partitions fully taking up 2 73gb drives. vinum shows this as 68gb volume, which I guess is ok considering kbmbgb calculation rip-off, but losing 10gb after newfsing is something new. The only other thing I did is turn on soft updates, but I wouldn't expect that too 'steal' 10 gb also. anyone ? 5gb :) UFS keep x% of the drive unavailable from anyone but root as part of the filesystem optimisations, you can turn this off if you want with tunefs but expect a performance hit from it.

Re: losing disk space
thanx guys. learn something new every day. I actually noticed that my smaller volumes display the same 'discrepancy'..., but it only became a concern after 'loosing' 10gb :). hehe. should've realized that myself right away. is this true though that soft updates use additional disk space ??

No, softupdates are just a different way of handling writes iirc, they dont have any space overheads afaik :) - Mike Woods IT Technician ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
