Hello all,
So I just installed a terabyte drive and installed 9.04 to another drive, in the process of this the terabyte drive got mounted in the / folder something that I've never done before as I usually add the folder in /media. But I saw that it only shows about 860GB and this stuck me as odd. I know that when you buy a drive there is always a factor that is not really usable, but then I loaded up gparted. And it seems to show it as 931Gb big. Is there any reason for this loss of 90 gb? I don't really know how to search for a solution to this either.
Thanks in advance.
