Hi, I just installed Redhat AS 2.1 on a a new machine with tons of RAID5 space. During the install, I created the partition/filesystem /largedisk with 550784264 blocks. After everything is installed and mounted, I get the following in a df: /dev/sda8 550784264 32828 522773144 1% /largedisk The avail + used != total, not even close. I realize that the 32828 is probably the journal, but where could the other 25GB have gone? Thanks, Stephen

it was set to the default 5%, I set it to 1%(i mean i dont think i need to reserve 25GB ;)). Thanks so much for your help, you hit the nail right on the head. --stephen Mike Fedyk wrote:> On Mon, Jan 12, 2004 at 02:08:51PM -0600, Stephen Agar wrote: > >>Hi, >>I just installed Redhat AS 2.1 on a a new machine with tons of RAID5 >>space.
