[LUG] calculating filesystem sizes (slightly off topic)

 

Hi

I am trying to work out how my digital camera displays a
512 MB sd card with size of 478 MB after formatting

this gives a difference of 34 MB, I know there are differences, in actual size and formatted size just can't remember how things are calculated, can anyone help please.

thanks

Paul
