Hi,
Could somebody explain me why the number of blocks you see when a partition
is created whith fdisk is reduced after the ext2 file system is setup, like
could be see with the df command ??
I create a partition of 387072 blocks and after mkfs -t ext2 , mounting the
device and df I get only about 375000 blocks. Where are the ~10Mb difference ?

I see in one system the space reduced by 90 Mb in a 700Mb partition,
could this be a normal ext2 feature ??

Thanks

Metadata (inodes, superblocks, and such). ext2 no longer reports
metadata as part of the free disk space on the file system.

I'm looking for pointers to any amateur radio-oriented software for
Linux, along with antenna design/evaluation software like NEC that
has been ported to Linux.

Thanks...Jim
