Take the tour ×  When i made a new drive it take some space for
system file FAT32 take the less space, then NTFS, then ext4 my
question how to know the space will be taken for the system
before make the drive, if the drive 1giga or 100giga for FAT32,
NTFS, ext4.  Edit: when make 10MB drive with FAT32 the size
shown 9.9  when make 10MB drive with ext4 the size shown 8.1
the same thing with the bigger size there always some space used
and there is no files on the drive, so where this space go, if
it for the filesystem how i can calculate the space that will be
taken before format the drive  share|improve this question What
