Subject: [Q] Ext2fs: why does it eat 1MB when being empty ?
Date: 7 Apr 1993 13:40:16 GMT


Subject says all ;
I've updated my system to the second extended file system and
created a 32 MB partition for use as / . When i mount the new filesys
and do df, df tells me:
/mnt: blocks: 32768 used: about 8600
after that i unmounted and ran e2fsck, which reported a wrong block count.
after mounting again, df still reported 1024 blocks in use, about 30000 blocks free.
(i used the -m 3 option, reserving some less space for root)
Any suggestions ?
