Re: [LUG] calculating filesystem sizes (slightly off topic)

 

Briefly, I suspect that although the card has a capacity of 512MB, the
filesystem you've formatted it with (FAT16 or FAT32?) has it's own
overheads, which will reduce the overall storage space available. Loosing
34MB sounds excessive, but without googling I can't be sure this isn't
normal.
