Hi, We are wondering why df gives such peculiar outputs on large disk drives? The used space and the available space do not add up the reported size of the partition. Is this a problem, or is it just the way it is? We are using a 250 Gig SATA (ad4) drive and a 1000 Gig SATA Raid 0(da0) drive. Incidentally, while partitioning the drives on install, the disk geometry warning came up for both drives. We just used the geometry that the installer chose. canicula-a# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a 2.9G 55M 2.6G 2% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad4s1f 62G 4.0K 57G 0% /opt /dev/da0s1d 906G 4.0K 833G 0% /raid /dev/ad4s1e 3.9G 810M 2.8G 22% /usr /dev/ad4s1d 2.9G 302K 2.7G 0% /var canicula-a# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a 3049102 56150 2749024 2% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/ad4s1f 64489864 4 59330672 0% /opt /dev/da0s1d 949613700 4 873644600 0% /raid /dev/ad4s1e 4058062 29730 2903688 22% /usr /dev/ad4s1d 3045006 302 2801104 0% /var Thank You
