Hello, After installing a new system on a 500Gb HDD the partition size I allocated at install does no match the size after complete system installation Disc size comes up as 476937MB At install I partitioned the disc: / 2048Mb /swap 4096Mb /var 2048Mb /server 440Gb /usr 13065Mb After install and checking the partition sizes with KDiskFree the partitions are: / 1.9Gb /var 1.9Gb /server 431.0Gb /usr 12.4Gb The /server is 9Gb smaller than I partitioned and the actual free space without any files in the partition is shown as 396.5Gb which is another 34.5Gb smaller. Am I actually seeing what is really happening or am I really loosing 43.5Gb of space on the /server partition Thanks, Ivan
