Recover some hard drive space via pdisk
Authored by: david-bo on Jun 25, '05 11:50:23AM

I just got a new 2,5" disk which I put in an exernal FW-case and formatted with Disk Utility.

This disk did not waste a lot of space on Apple Free areas, its partition table:

/dev/rdisk1 map block size=512
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_4 8408488 @ 64 ( 4.0G)
3: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_5 22020096 @ 8408552 ( 10.5G)
4: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_6 125872840 @ 30428648 ( 60.0G)


No idea why Disk Utility gives different results from time to time but Apple Free seems unnecessary if Disk Utility itselfs not always creates it.
