Wow. 200M used on a freshly created ext3 filesystem. /dev/sdb1 917G 200M 871G 1% /vol01 I guess that is the price to pay for such big drives. Beggers can't be choosers. I formated it via 'mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1' -- Chris Fowler OutPost Sentinel, LLC Support @ SIP/support at pbx.opsdc.com or 678-804-8193 Email Support @ support at outpostsentinel.com
