When I checked out settings - memory - details it says my total memory is only 27GB, not the 32 which it should be. Thats a drop of 5gig thats not in use by system files or anything. Anyone got any explainations? Is yours like this too?

offtopic is the rootfs 256MiB or MB?

e: checked things just to be sure:

27GiB = ~29GB
2GiB = ~2,2GB
768MiB = ~0,8GB

= 32 GB
seems to explain the phenomenon.
