... and I was wondering, why does "df -h" list 199MB used before I've ever accessed it? (/dev/sdd1 - USB2) If I do "ls" on the drive, it shows nothing at all, so what's the 199MB?
Just out of curiousity more than anything (though I suspect something may be wrong with the drive).

Well, I know ReiserFS uses approx 32MB when you mount the FS the first time.
Even happens with my 250GB HDD. Maybe a 500GB takes a little more.
What's your FS? |

sorry, I meant to post that  ... It's extended 3 (when I bought the drive, it was FAT32).
