DKVBrowser can't do anything that Yamaha didn't build in support for...so I don't know of any way to get the "total" storage size.

But having 68GB free is a TON of space.  I don't know what you had on there before, but a reasonable way to look at it is like this:  MIDI files take up almost zero space.  CD audio that has been copied to the piano takes up enormous amounts of space (Yamaha stores it in uncompressed format, so a CD can take as much as 700megs (0.7 gig) on your hard drive).

Do you have a lot of CDs copied to the piano? 

Based on what's on my (unexpanded) piano, and the amount of stuff I have stored on it, I would say that your 68gigs indicates that you did successfully expand the partition.

Thanks for the response Kevin.  Big problem is it only shows how much free space I have available - and I didn't check free space prior to the swap.  I have no idea if it's correctly showing what's available - or if I still have the filesystem expansion issue.

According to the system, I now have 68 GB free.  The original drive of course was a total of 80 GB (don't know how much the default system files and the demo albums are supposed to be) - and the new drive is 120 GB.  I have no idea how much space my original albums songs were taking up.  Is there a way to see how much space each folder is occupying using  DKVBrowser?
