Hello,
When mounting the 15,5GB root partition of an old 17GB ATA harddrive,
df -h tells me it is only 479MB.
This is what I did:
I installed FreeBSD on the 17GB ATA harddrive, so I later could copy
some files onto it from my main 150GB S-ATA. The plan is to retire
the 17GB ATA at this Pentium 133MHz over at the form.
So I plugged the 17GB ATA into my Pentium 3,2GHz's DVD-ROM IDE cable,
which is the only IDE cable available other than that of my DVD-RW. I
installed FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE using the network install via boot
floppies. I made a 1500MB swap partition, and the remaining 15,5GB
into root /. I know jamming all that space into one single partition
is a big no no, but for this purpose I let it slide. FreeBSD, minimum
installatino, installed without any difficulties.
Then it was time to copy the files I needed from the 150GB S-ATA. I
can only boot the 150GB S-ATA, the 17GB ATA doesn't want to boot as
long as the 150GB S-ATA is attached. I managed to mount the 17GB ATA,
however df -h informs me that it is only 479MB?
How can this be? It might be a geometry issue, yeah? But how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Kyrre
