Topic: Thank you for a great product

Hi all,
      Unfortunately there isn't a thank you otherwise would have thanked you. I was able to format an external ~ 74 GiB (marketed as 80 GB) hdd. I downloaded Gparted on dapper, used it to format into a smattering of ext3 & ntfs primary & logical partitions. As and when it gets LVM, it'll be biggest killer yet. wink

Thank you again smile

In fact, "80GB" disks contain about 80.000.000.000 bytes.
1 GB = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes.

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***
