Looks like you've got about 6 GB of swap. eric heller On Mon, 2003-10-27 at 16:01, Stephen Liu wrote: > Hi Andrew, > > # fdisk /dev/hde >Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System > /dev/hde1 * 111 88326 83 Linux > /dev/hde212 812 6434032+ 82 Linux swap > /dev/hde3 813 4866 32563755 83 Linux > > Not easy for me to read.

Other distros, like Gentoo, let you decide which and how many paritions you want vs need. The "-h" option to 'df' *might* not display all partitions, like 'swap'. Also, Gentoo encourages you to not mount /boot during normal usage. I'm guessing you have a / (root) partition, swap, and /boot. Yes, you are correct. I have boot ext3 swap root reiserfs What command will be used to display all of them Try "df --help" or "man df" and see if it tells you. I don't know off-hand... It might be helpful for you to explore options like this yourself vs running into a problem and posting to this list. Then waiting... and waiting... Regards Hall -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I've done some test on my iomega jaz drive, and there are 200 Mb less with ext3/2 than with reiserfs f.ex. So it's most likely just the space that the filesystem uses for it's backup nodes/ journal/ lost+found. -- Sigurd Stordal President of GOGS Experimental Petrologist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Any other commands to check the hard drive I'm presuming it's also OK to blow away /usr/portage/packages having done a GRP installation a couple of months back. In any case I have the CDs, and I can't see why it should affect the system if I do. Am I right? TIA Richard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
