That's what he got, Alvin, if you'd do your math: 146.8 * 3 * 0.95 == 418.38 The results above indicate about an 8% reserve. That's pretty much standard. Of course, a few percent of several hundred GiB is still several GiB, but my understanding is that you _want_ this reserve to allow for keeping file fragmentation low. Peace. -- Karsten M.
