I am using Mandrake Linux 8.0 with two IDE hard drives in my system. I created a partition on the second hard drive and then copied a partition from the first drive over to the second drive and it significantly increased in size.
More details: I use "ext2" for my hard drive partitions. I used `tar clf - / | (cd /mnt/root; tar xpf -)` to copy the root partition. I configured the second partition with blocking factors of 1024, 2048, and 4096. With a blocking factor of 1024, the second partition (/dev/hdd5) ran out of space. I list the results of the "df" command below for the other blocking factors in parenthesis. Does anyone have any ideas? [root@mike /]# df -k Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 3984672 3077788 704468 81% / /dev/hdd5 5605138 4366408 953980 82% /mnt/root (2048 byte blocks) /dev/hdd5 5605536 4578828 741960 86% /mnt/root (4096 byte blocks)
