I would do one of two things: (a) reformat the partition and create a new filesystem, or (b) use GParted to grow the filesystem to the full extent of the partition.
Note that a partition can be 200GB, but there could be a small filesystem that does not occupy the entire partition... such is your case. -------- jbyers: ok, i used gparted from a systemrescuecd it took me a while to see how to grow the fs but it worked GParted 0.4.1 Libparted 1.8.8 Check and repair file system (ext3) on /dev/sda1 00:00:31 ( SUCCESS ) calibrate /dev/sda1 00:00:00 ( SUCCESS ) path: /dev/sda1 start: 63 end: 42989939 size: 42989877 (20.50 GiB) check file system on /dev/sda1 for errors and (if possible) fix them 00:00:00 ( SUCCESS ) e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda1 Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information 11 inodes used (0.02%) 0 non-contiguous inodes (0.0%) # of inodes with ind/dind/tind blocks: 0/0/0 12003 blocks used (5.98%) 0 bad blocks 0 large files 0 regular files 2 directories 0 character device files 0 block device files 0 fifos 0 links 0 symbolic links (0 fast symbolic links) 0 sockets -------- 2 files e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) grow file system to fill the partition 00:00:31 ( SUCCESS ) resize2fs /dev/sda1 Resizing the filesystem on /dev/sda1 to 21494936 (1k) blocks.
