[SOLVED] gdisk reports less disk space than cfdisk

zcal · 2012-10-15 02:55:23

I did a fresh install of Arch today and decided to try partitioning GPT style with gdisk. I noticed that gdisk reported 10gb less disk space in total than cfdisk (149 vs 160gb respectively). I haven't been able to find an answer as to why this would be. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

counfound GB and GiB make me feel that I have 20G less but is fake

check GB vs GiB make these thipes of diferences

the best form is check in the same unit

Here you can see the difference is around 7 percent in the scale of gigabytes.
160*0,067=10,72

Yep. The different measurements are the problem. Thanks!
