Understanding sfdisk and df results
Hi,
Using fdisk I created a partition of 15.7 GB. I entered +15700M Using sfdisk there is a heading called blocks and there is a number which is approximatly 400 BM less. When I mount the partition and use df -l the 1K block column displays only 15GB! I need to understand these numbers if I am going to create a partition of an appropriate size. Can anyone tell me the mathematics behind these numbers please! |
