I have a 6 and 13 GB hard drive in an older PII 333 system. The 13GB
drive consists of just one partition taking up all the space.

When I do df, it's reporting it as only 3.5GB partition:
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1              3534096    513596   2984596  15% /usr/net-share

but if I print the partition table, I get:
Disk /dev/hdb: 13.6 GB, 13662609408 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1661 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1   *         1      1661  13341951   83  Linux

It's probably something to do with older computers not being able to
recognize drives larger than 8GB? In the BIOS, it shows up as 8GB
but I thought it wouldn't matter if I could still creating a partition
of that size in linux. Any ideas?

Tom
