Chunk space

Posted in 2006

Summary

A newcomer created a 2000000 KB chunk with onspaces but oncheck -pe showed size 500000. Michael Schmid, Tilman Model-Bosch and Obnoxio The Clown explained that onspaces takes KB while oncheck reports pages; with 4 KB pages (Windows) 2000000 KB equals 500000 pages. Solved.

oncheck reports in pages (not in kb) Seems you are on windows (where page size is 4 kb normally). Consider: 2000000 kb ---------- = 500000 pages 4 kb/page gbas13@gmail.com schrieb: > Hi, > > Sorry for my poor english.

It's reporting the number of pages, not the number of kilobytes. Since each page is 4KB, ... -- Bye now, Obnoxio "Jesus you fucking people are hopeless." -- Double Anal
