For the same reason that whenever you buy a external HDD or a SD Card its never the full amount you expected. Manufacturers use different scale to count a MB and GB then 99% of desktop/mobile OS's do.

[Q] I messed up my I9300 16GB internal sdcard

Hi Guys,
Anyone can help, i messed up my I9300 sdcard, i tried everything i know
- Tried to re-partetion using .pit file and ODIN 3.07
- Tried to flash the stock rom "it works but the device keep restart and freeze"
i guess the issue is that my internal sdcard is not well partitioned now cause a softer reading the device information telling that my rom is 11.8 gb and my sdcard 11.8gb as well.
Please help, i'm dyeing
Thanks in advance.

can't mount /emmc

Galaxy S2 i9100 - PAC 4.3 ROM , Dorimanx Kernel(latest)
Hello everyone!
Straight on business:
I have an i9100(16GB) and I can only use 11.5GB from the internal storage; a friend of mine has the same model and can use up to 14.8GB. He said that he converted his filesystem to ext2 for that 'extra' space. As a noob as I am, I tried google it, (he didn't wanted to tell me - he tells me to find out stuff the hard way) and end up with a ****edup internal sd:
It boots the ROM but
Can't mount /emmc - via Recovery mode
Storage(from settings) - shows Total space 1.94GB , and that's all!
Drive isn't recognised by Windows in any type of connection (shows the drive, but it's inaccesible)
I have tried converting it to ext2, then ext4 using MiniTool Partition Wizard. Also, for ext2 tried arch-linux command mkfs.ext2.
Please, help!
Up. Please, help!
Fixed! Used ODIN to flash a stock rom which, after install, told me that the sd card is corrupt and fixed it.
