Disk Free Outputing wrong number??

[DexterII]

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 19038368 432756 17638504 3% /

------------------------------------------------------------------

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 18G 423M 16G 3% /

Is it just me or is this not right?

18GB - 423M = 16GB ... WTF?


The wrong numbers started ever since I updated Bash inorder to update PHP.

I'm no expert, but it seems like you're seeing the unformatted capacity (18GB) versus the formatted capacity (16-17GB). So that is right in a way, just displaying the information in a confusing way.

18 gb unformatted = 18,000,000 / (1024x0124) = 17.166 gb then there's the swap and boot partitions

Right I set swap to 203 MB some reason it wouldn't let me do 200 even.

So does this mean anything is wrong with the format, and why it suddenly outputted these weird numbers after I updated bash?

Eh?

Ok, but why the sudden change after the bash update?
