Hello,

I'm not totally familiar with RAID0, but I do know that when Solaris makes
the new files system (using 'newfs'), many superblocks are created on the
disk for redundancy.  This ends up taking up some space as well.

There is a way to optimize this. According to my sys admin book:

"NOTE - The newfs command will 'reserve', by default, 10 percent of the disk
space for file system maintenance.  This can be adjusted by using either
newfs -m # option during creation of the file system or tunefs after after
the creation of the file system. "

See the pertitnent man pages to do this.  I normally don't play with this.
