Question about FS

[George Magklaras]

Typically, filesystems reserve some space for housekeeping purposes 
(journal size, default dirs, superblocks, etc). This is not unusual. If 
by any chance the fs you made is ext2/3, you can type:

tune2fs -l <dev name for FS OR mount point>

to list the contents of the superblock and watch the value of 'Block 
Count' versus 'Free Blocks' to verify.
