If you formatted with ext3/ext2, 5% is reserved for root, and will not |

appear in df output. This would account for about 15G. Another 7.3% |

(or about 23G) is lost due to the fact that linux and df count 1GB as |

1073741824 bytes, while manufactures sell drives counting 1GB as |

1000000000 bytes. |
