I am trying to use samba with my FAT32 hard dives and FreeBSD version 5.2.1. Since FAT32 doesn't seem to work with samba, and reading from it is ungodly slow compared to UFS I decided to move all my data to UFS partitions. But once I have reformatted one of my FAT32 partitions to UFS I seem to not have the same amount of space as I had with my FAT32 partition. I look the df -h out put and it shows that I have a 63 gig hard dive, but only total 57 gigs free and used space useable. I am wondering where the 6 gigs that I had went to? You can see the same thing happened with the other drives as well. It's just not as dramatic because the sizes aren't as big. On top of that, you can see the other FAT32 partitions that I still have setup in the machine, have the equal amount of total space and total usable space. Also FreeBSD doesn't recognize any of my hard dive's geometries correctly. My computer is an OEM and does not let me set them manually. Is there any way I can set them in FreeBSD? Would this make a difference with how much space I have usable? One main thing that I am worried about is that to move these other hard dives to ufs, I have copy over the data and move it back. Now if I do that, there might not be enough room to copy the data back to the same hard dive with the same amount of data. It just sounds pretty weird to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
