   So, it's awesome to have a new 1TB HDD. But only being able to use ~870GB of it is not. What's up with that? I'm using #ext3.

     @forteller tune2fs -m0 /dev/XXX will give you more, but a 1TB drive has *never* meant 1TB storage..

     @forteller try "tune2fs -r 0" to free the 5% reserved for root

     @atmoz @elektronaut @chriscena @Thlom Thanks! I know what's on the box is never what you get, but I thought 130GB less was a bit much... :|
