[Wlug] Partition left 7 Gbs!

[dibb_jim@emc.com]

 You are probably seeing the difference between 80 * 10^9 representation and
80 * 2^30 representation of GB.  An "80 GB" drive usually is seen by an OS
as having ~73 GB of space.  But without stating why you think so, it's
difficult to tell for sure.

Hi all,

I've got a Baracuda 7200 RPM 80 Gbs Seagate.
I've creating the partition using fdisk on Linux RedHat.

Why does it always leave 7 Gbs that not partitioned ?
So, Here I have 7 Gbs space useless :(

Any idea to solve this ?

Thanks,
