I'm replacing an existing myth drive with a quieter model. My main problem is
that I'm losing upto 8Gb between the partition size and the actual space
available.
It might be that I have to accept this loss but as it represents between 5-8
hours of recordings I'm looking for some advice. Is there any
formula/filesystem which might get me better results?
The 80Gb drive (Samsung Spintpoint) is carved up as follows:
Name Flags Part Type FS Type Size (MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hdb1 Boot Primary Linux ext3 3003.68 (/)
hdb2 Primary Linux swap 510.94 (swap)
hdb3 Primary Linux ext3 3003.68 (TV Cache)
hdb4 Primary Linux ext3 73535.94 (Recordings)
In reality I'm getting only ~65Gb versus 73Gb. The structure is based on the
knoppmyth created partition table on the old (40Gb) drive.
