The difference is due to the wonderful world of hard drive manufacturer's
marketing departments.
If you take the total size / 1000 you end up with a "larger" drive than if
you /1024 (imo- the correct way).
Both are probably right, just different perspectives...

Subject: [SLE] Hard drive size question
My hard drive is a Seagate 160G. SUSE reads it (both 9 and 9.1) as 149GB
plus 1 Gb for swap on partion stage of install.
Kquick disk tells me its 145.2 GB.
Just wondering why the difference and where is the 5-10G.
Is this anything to worry about?
Thanks
