How much overhead is ext3 supposed to take? I have a RAID1 array with
two 400 GB drives, but the output of df is:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 233G 214G 20G 92% /data

Sorry for the extra traffic; I forgot that I had 250 GB disks
in the array instead of 400.

LOL...I had read your initial post and was really curious about
it. Big thx for coming back and clearing things up!

Good luck
