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... -----Original Message----- From: Thom Nuzum [mailto:linux@tendata.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 11:23 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com 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?
