 |
|
Hi all,
I've just install Gentoo (kernel 2.4) on my Sun Blade 2000. I have a 73GB FC-AL disk installed, and I set up the disk partitions as such (from fdisk):
| Code: | Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 24 heads, 424 sectors, 14087 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 10176 * 512 bytes
Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 0 98 498624 83 Linux native
/dev/sda2 u 98 245 747936 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda3 0 14087 71674656 5 Whole disk
/dev/sda4 245 638 1999584 83 Linux native
/dev/sda5 638 1031 1999584 83 Linux native
/dev/sda6 1031 14087 66428928 83 Linux native |
However, when I log in to check with command df, this is my output:
| Code: | Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1
472M 34M 414M 8% /
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part4
1.9G 1.3G 530M 71% /usr
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part5
1.9G 152M 1.7G 9% /var
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part6
1.9G 33M 1.8G 2% /home
shm 1009M 0 1009M 0% /dev/shm |
It shows that /dev/sda6 is only 2G, when according to fdisk it should be 68G! Any ideas what's wrong here?

I am using fdisk on a SATA system.
Both fdisk and du show the same.
Lately I have seen the same error somewhere else with a scsi system. |

Hi all,
Finally solved the issue: forgot to format the partition after creating it! 
Earlier partitioning had sized /dev/sda6 at 2G by mistake. It was only after
[/code]
| Code: | | mke2fs -j /dev/sda6 |
was the problem solved.
Sorry for the trouble!

You should use
| Code: | | mke2fs -j -O dir_index -O filetype /dev/sda6 |
