[SLUG] Missing Disk space?

[scott]

Hi All,
I seem to be missing 6 gig of disk space.
This could have been happening all along, but I hadn't noticed as its only become an issue since the /home directory is getting full.

I have a 13 gig western digital as a secondary drive (Confirmed by hdparm -i /dev/hdb), but when I do a df -h, it shows only two filesystems of these sizes:

[root@Laziar2 /root]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb6             2.9G  2.7G  100M  97% /home
/dev/hdb5             3.9G  2.5G  1.3G  65% /usr

I thought I might have had some unallocated space on the disk, but I then went into fdisk, printed out the partition info and it shows:

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1             1      1871  15028776    5  Extended
/dev/hdb5             1       523   4200934+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb6           524      1871  10827778+  83  Linux

I thought it might be the bios, but I don't think so, without rebooting I can't check, but its an ABIT BH6 motherboard, and should detect 13 gig harddrives.

Anyone have any ideas as to where the 6 gig could have gone?


Regards,

Scott
