The root partition ("/") is 10GB.
The SWAP area ("/swap") is 6GB.
And two additional area's, "/usr", 60GB,
And one personal area which I expect to remake using GBDE (after everything
is up and running,) that's about 90GB or so...
This is about 170GB, the disk shows 238GB, and the rest was unallocated. I
also tried putting something else up, OpenBSD, before I did any of this.
That didn't help -- the error was unchanged. (Just the major number was
incremented, of course.)
