Am i missing something? Shouldn't a firmware reinstall almost empty it out? I was expecting maybe 20% to 30%... but 62%? really? Is this normal or am i really missing something here. Please advise
The rootfs is a measly 256MB. It has the entire operating system and all out of the box applications. You expect all of that to fit in 20% of 256MB?

After the first software update, some of that may be moved to th 32GB internal drive.
