Re: EXT3 Reserve Space

[Muhammad Ammar <mammar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I think problem is solved. Actually i am checking the sizes in gparted and it is showing wrong value for 'USED' field.

Now i check the sizes using df and it shows correct sizes.

The version of e2fsprogs is:

e2fsprogs-1.41.10-6.fc13.i686

I used the following command to create an ext3 file system

mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/sda2

Thanks to all of you for your time and sorry for confusion.

Regards,

Please let us know the version of e2fsprogs you are using, and then
show the commands you used which exhibited this problem.
