What can i do? Thanks Osmany ----- Hi, That output is far from rare! Type man tunefs and type "/-m" without the quotes, and then hit "n" without the quotes. Read that section carefully. Also, some space is used in any file system for storage of data about the data (metadata). Inodes, superblocks, etc all take up space. Reading man tuning may also shed some light on this supposedly "lost" space. Thanks, Andrew
