Don't know why this is... But check how big your other partitions are using gparted. As Steven says, this is the old way of doing things. I too always use LVM these days and there's a nice graphical tool: system-config-lvm if you're fazed by the command line :) And of course if you're on a live system do the things that Nico suggested.

Hi James Holland
Thank you for nice trick "gparted"
I only see 1.10TiB Free space, but have expected ~4TB as I have 12TB

    I'm quite lazy and use Gparted to do this stuff. You can install it
    by doing yum install gparted. You can then see your disks and
    partitions and create and label /home on your free 4TB partition.
    Then edit /etc/fstab. Let us know if you need further help!

        Hi James Holland,
        Thank you so much for email
        Could you please tell me how I will see that 4TB is free.
        As I have 12x1TB disk mounted as a single disk. Out of 12TB I
        have used
        8TB as /export,

        Thank you
        With Best Regards

        So, just mount your 4TB on /home. Stick it in the fstab as
        LABEL=/home
        /home ext3 defaults 1 2

                        Dear Sunil Sir,

                        Here are answers to your questions:-

                        1. DO an entry in /etc/fsab for /home like the
                following, but
                        make sure where it is actually mounted:-
                        # cat /etc/fstab

                        LABEL=//ext3defaults1 1

                        /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
        /homeext3defaults,usrquota1 2

                        LABEL=/home/homeext3defaults1 2

                        LABEL=/boot/bootext3defaults1 2

                        tmpfs/dev/shmtmpfsdefaults0 0

                        devpts/dev/ptsdevptsgid=5,mode=6200 0

                        sysfs/syssysfsdefaults0 0

                        proc/procprocdefaults0 0

                        LABEL=SWAP-sda5swapswapdefaults0


                        # mount –o remount /home

                        # quotacheck –a /home (It will create a database
        file
                        aquota.user at /home)

                        # quotaon /home (means we have applied quota on
        /home)

                        # edquota –u username (to apply quota on a
        particular user).

                        # edquota sunil

                        2. Mount the 4TB free space in some mount point
        and then
                create
                          ext3 file system in it using fdisk or
                        any other disk management tool.

                            Hi,
                            Two Questions:

                            1. I would like to give specific disk space
        to users
                but I
                            don't have /home in /etc/fstab. I will
        appreciate if
                some
                            one will suggest me how to do disk quota
        management.

                            2. During SL5.5 installation I used 8TB disk
        space
                and  kept
                            the 4TB disk space free, Now I want to use
        this 4TB as
                            scratch, how will I do that.



                            Thank you
                            With Best Regards
                            sunil
