How to calculate bsdlabel size

[Harald Schmalzbauer]

Hi all,

I manually created disklabels with a size number of 10485760.
I wanted to have 5 GigaByte big labels, so 5*1024*1024*1024/512=10485760.
Now after doing a newfs and mounting the new label, df -h reports a size of 
4.8GB.
Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks,

-Harry
