My question is, why is hda3 only showing as 145 GB? Surely ext3 isn't
taking up gigabytes worth of journal information?
I think it's common that "160 GB" means 160000000000 bytes when
manufactures defines harddrive space.
And 160 "real" GB is 201997680640
That's a significant difference.
For example, I have a Maxtor 200 GB drive
and this is what df -h shows:
perseus$ df -h

/dev/hda1 897M 212M 637M 25% /
tmpfs 507M 60K 507M 1% /dev/shm

lazyfs 100K 100K 0 100% /uri/0install
/dev 897M 212M 637M 25% /.dev
none 5,0M 752K 4,3M 15% /dev
If you sum up theese, roghly it gets 188 GB...
