Hey everyone,
I have recently moved, and resized the partitions on my 120GB hdd
(/dev/hdb). I moved and resized the partitions as there is data i very
much want to keep, but dont have hard disk space elese where to back it up
during a compleat re-write of the drive.
The process was going well, and everything i wanted was on my new reiserfs
partition (/dev/hdb1). I had deleated some stuff that i no longer needed
or wanted during the process and so i checked to see how much space i had
freed up, and was astonished to find that i had not gained more free
space, but lost some! i was intreged to i took a look arround, and found
that the space i was using on the reiserfs partition was the wrong size,
detales are as follows:
Parted:
Using /dev/hdb
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hdb: 0kB - 120GB
Disk label type: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32kB 87GB 87GB primary reiserfs
2 87GB 119GB 32GB primary fat32 lba
4 119GB 120GB 543MB primary linux-swap
(parted)
df -h (extract):
/dev/hdb1 67G 43G 24G 65% /mnt/hdb
/dev/hdb2 30G 28G 2.8G 91% /mnt/games
size of /dev/hdb4:
/dev/hdb4 is a 518MB swap partition
and incase you would like this infomation:
fdisk:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hdb: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders

/dev/hdb4 14528 14593 530145 82 Linux swap /
