The OS (and most other things in computers) define MB as 1024*1024 bytes (and GB as 1024 MB), while harddisk manufacturers use MB= 1000*1000 bytes (and GB as 10^9 bytes) (which is actually the technically correct definition). If you calculate 76319*1024*1024 you will find that it is almost exactly 80 * 10^9, so everything is correct. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
