the fdisk tends to suggest that you have the write
amount of disk space, but looking at the df a fair bit is missing, I think its
the hdb6 partition is there a possibility that the file system does not fill the
partion. I have NFI ideas about how that might have happened. What file system
are you using? Im guessing ext2 (some file systems have limits) ? Is it possible
that at format time an incorrect number of blocks was set? What distrobution are
you using is it old?
If you can mobe the stuff on that partion to some
where else temporily try remaking the file system (with a different FS maybee)
just to see.

Subject: [SLUG] Missing Disk space?
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
