Marcus,
WAFL "steals" 10%; this loss is inherent in the file system design.
Think about how you lose up to 12% of your free space for the MFT on an NTFS
volume; same thing on WAFL except it isn't allocated as a contiguous chunk
like the MFT - rather the space is used dynamically to allow the filesystem
to function properly.
regards,
Alan.

Subject: volume disk space
I created a volume on F880c, ONTAP 6.4.1, with CIFS as follows:
37 - 72GB disk
Raid group size = 14 with 3 Raid groups
No snapshot
snapshot reserve = 0
But in Filerview the volume space shows 1.98TB and 'df -g' shows 2031GB. I
thought the volume space should be 2.257TB (34 data disks x 66.385GB). Map
to the volume from a Windows client and it shows 1.98TB. Why am I missing a
lot of disk space?
cheers,
Marcus Bui
