I want to create a small partition for my applications on my Time Machine drive. I figure 25GB should do.

So, I partition the 500GB drive into a 475GB partition (roughly) and a 25GB partition (roughly). The weird thing is that the 25GB partition is nearly half full... of nothing.

Even checked it out in terminal and it doesn't show any files there. In the shot of Disk Utility, you'll see a big of blue in the second, smaller partition.

What's the deal with that?
