Sure it has 32GB on it. But that doesn't mean 32GB is available for
your files. There is OS overhead, also.
Bullshit. Overhead does not consume 7% of the disk capacity. This is
just the difference between 1 GiB and 1 GB.
Funny. I made an example to demonstrate the irrational
effects that numbers have on people, and you both immediately start a
holy war based on it.
Overhead can easily take up 7% of the disk, depending on the file system
being used.
Let me rephrase it. Can you provide an example of a freshly created
filesystem of a common size with an overhead of at least 7%, i.e. with
the free space being less than 93 % of the raw size ?
How about answering my question. Exactly which disk do you have
I am with him. There is no real question from you that I could discover
so far, just some attempts to distract attention after not understanding
the point (or even the content) of the original example.
