Hi all again,

    Thank you for your responses. I have checked all that
you have advised but I have noticed the following:
Upon formating the 200GB drive (under SuSE7.2) with ext2
and I mount it on a directory, linux tells me that the space
consumbed by the partition is 129,2 GB. 
I have created one big partition of the total size of the 
hard disk and formated it. Still though, linux tells me that
the total space is not bigger than 130 GB when I execute
df at my prompt!!!
    This sounds very strange! I have also tried to create two
different paritions, one being 100G and another being about 90G
and still when I mount these two onto directories, I get a total
size of no more than 130 Gbytes.
    I have also tried installing Win9X on it and Windows tells me that
the total disk size is about 190Gbytes which is correct.
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here??
Is this a bug in ext2??
I have also checked the bytes that are reserved for root use and
it is only 1%, thus not true for the small size that df shows.

Thank you all!
Chris
