How can I get back some of my ext hdd disc space?
by blooperx3 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AQPP)
terminal: df -h
size: 5.5tb
used: 58m
avail: 5.2tb
use: 1%
GPARTED:
size: 5.46tb
used: 45.09gb
unused: 5.41tb
I really don't know if 5.2tb is available or 5.41
Previously, i had partition tabled and partition it, and encrypted it. Then I used the dd command to erase everything. But the hdd doesn't seem to be back to square one with available size - hard to tell. I don't see why I am missing "0.3tb" from the hdd - according to terminal output.
appreciate the help.
