Why only 25gb free?
 

I just got my N900 and charged it up. There appears to be about 3gb less than I thought we would have, since I figured formatting, etc and the 2gb app space would eat about 4gb.

This is almost false advertising, in regards to 32gb;)

Re: Why only 25gb free?
 

From what I understand, 32GB = 32,000,000,000 bytes. So, 32GB = 30.51 GiB. From here, 2GiB app space. 768 MB swap memory. That should leave you with around 27 GB of space.

That would give us 28.51 space, since you already netted out the format and app space. ;)

the outputs of "mount" and "df -h" would probably help...
default partitioning should look like this:
32GB eMMC: /home ~2GB (ext3), /home/user/MyDocs ~29GB (vfat), swap 0.7GB

I have 27GB. Swap should have its own faster memory AFAIK.

I guess you don't have the mic problem, Rushmore?

Re: Why only 25gb free?
 

No, but I have 2gb less that 27gb....

running
df -h
in a terminal will tell you what's going on. guess my hint at that was too subtle :)

Re: Why only 25gb free?
 

In terminal? Seems there are files called "other" and some video files. When I look at storage, there is a little blue box that show 25gb available.

Why would mine have less free memory than others? Did I get the super-hyper 4gb app partition???? ;)

That's what we're trying to figure out with the df -h ;)
