Hello all!
I have a 512 MB Kingston flash disk. When I try to create a partition
with 460 MB (471.040 KB), the partition is created with 460.6 MB
(471.665 KB).
------------------------------------------------
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 951 471665 83 Linux
------------------------------------------------
Why? Geometry?
2nd Question:
When I format the partition with ext3, the df -k command returns:
------------------------------------------------
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 456730 8239 424908 2% /mnt
------------------------------------------------
I think 8239 KB (8.05 MB) was used by journal. But the amount of blocks
decreased after formatted (471665 to 456730). Why?
I use Sarge.
Thanks.
