Mandriva-user Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Hi !! I let install second WD hd 120gb and I looked into it and just have 111 gb free space. Where is all those rest of 9 gb? My first is as master 60 gb hard drive slave 120gb hd. Thank you for your big help. Ciao mike01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ndeb Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Note that most hard-drive manufacturers use 1GB = 1 billion (10^9), while in the binary world, 1GB = 1024^3 B. So your 120GB drive actually has 120 billion bytes, which can show up as 120/(1.024^3) = 111.7587 GB when u run the command df. U can run df -B <SIZE> where: SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following:kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1,000,000, M 1,048,576, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
