HELLO.

In lab environment, I create /dev/md0, consisted of 3 partitions.
Each partition has 128MB.

Because the type is RAID5, there are about 256MB available for data.

After mounting /dev/md0 to /var/share/, "df -h" shows the correct size (259MB Free). But the output of "mdadm --detail /dev/md0" shows the following:
...
Array Size : 272896 (266.54 MiB 279.45 MB)
Used Dev Size : 136448 (133.27 MiB 139.73 MB)
...


What does "Used Dev Size" refer to?

THANK U.
