ext3 variables

[Herta Van den Eynde]

Hi Muhammad,

Not sure if I understand properly.  It looks like you're confused about 
the difference in size between what fdisk and df report.
If that's the case: fdisk shows you the size of the disk partitions. 
You create a filesystem on those partitions, and each filesystem has a 
specific overhead (superblock, inode tables,...).  I.e. df shows you 
what is actually available to the user of the filesystem.

Kind regards,

Herta
