Hi I have just installed OMV. Through SSH I created a partition on a external HD following this instruction https://www.tecmint.com/fdisk-…ge-linux-disk-partitions/ (writtten in 2015)
The result is as follows:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 149.1 GiB, 160041885696 bytes, 312581808 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 5727599A-FE1E-4BCE-BA6B-C91125A1C955

As you can see there is a gap of around 10 GiB for space counted in bytes vs space counted in GiB. During the procedure it said the default cylinder to start was 63. So I started searching. I found this information:

This is all old information and I don't whether it relates to the 'loss' of 10 Gib. The instruction i followed did not mention a default cylinder start at 63. So the question is what do I need to do to get the 10 Gib back? Is it at all possible? Should I use a different disk partionner / formatting program? Maybe ignore the default cylinder and set it to start at a cylinder 1?
BTW Previously the disk was formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and indicated 160 Gib. A second disk I have which is exactly the same and still formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) still indicates 160 GiB.
