Hi folks, I've purchased a new WD Passport 2T USB hard drive, which, no doubts,came formated NTFS. I've used GParted to quickly format the drive to Ext4 and results surprised me quite a bit (all results as reported by GParted):
File system NTFS ---------------- Total capacity - 1.82 TiB Used by file system - 122.66 MiB (?) File system Ext4 ---------------- Total capacity - 1.82 TiB Used by file system - 29.42 GiB (?) Thus NTFS reported using about 240 times less space then Ext4 file system. The loss of the drive space is just huge. It's about 29 GB. Is it normal? Or GParted is a wrong tool to use, while formatting 2T hard drive? I've never used such big HDD before, hence a confusion. Could somebody enlighten me on the subject, please? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
