The 2nd section is the "bdf", the third reads the amount of autoextend left. On the front page I keep track of: "As of 04/27 Disk" "Meg Left" - the free on the bdf "Promised for expan" - how much is in auto extend Made it? what's left Comments 10% I need to keep - 10% of the total disk size to keep free.
