I just formated a new 250 mb external hard drive in HFS+ journaled. When I looked the drive immediately after formating, it had 74mb of space used. Is this from the journaling system? How much space does the journal use?

Edit: forgot to mention the drive is one partition (apple partition scheme), and no OS 9 drivers are installed.

I guess I'm not concerned with the size of the journal, but want to know if it is the journal or bad bytes that may have been mapped out.
