If I use gparted (I want to change my partionning), I get:

/dev/sdb1:  ntfs    /media/ntfs        1Kio
non-allocated:                            319,66Mio
/dev/sdb2:  ext4  /media/linux        2.84Mio
non-allocated:                           465,45 Gio

here, my understanding is that gparted is
reporting 1Kio unallocated on /dev/sdb1,
and 319,66Mio allocated.

(i don't see that format from gparted)
