Ack, I can't really remember.  Mostly the defaults.  I probably set the
-m option to 1

Here is the output for filesystem A (/dev/sdb1) and B and C (/dev/sdc1,
/dev/sdc2):

Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

Ack, here is where the problem becomes obvious:

Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda3             983040    7816  975224    1% /

/dev/sdc1            15261696      11 15261685    1% /media/backup1
/dev/sdc2             238592  238592       0  100% /media/backup2

/dev/sdb1 is "A", /dev/sdc2 is "B".

I guess I have to recreate the filesystems.  Any suggestions or tips?

Thanks,

Paul
