Re: [newbie] System not recognizing correct partition size
Terence, fdisk output looks right: /var (hda9) partition is approx. 5600Mb, /var/Music (hda14) is 6200Mb. You left approx. 40Gb of unpartitioned space on the disk, right? df output puzzles me. Like you say, /var/Music is only approx 800Mbyte large. I have no idea why this happened. I would try to format it again: from a shell, login as root and type # mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda14 (WARNING: This will wipe out the /var/Music contents!) or the equivalent for reiserfs - which I am not familiar with. Then do a # df . to make sure this time you got all the partition formatted. Regarding the /var, df shows that it's half full, while you expet it to be almost empty. Two guesses to account for the missing space: 1. you configured some application to use /var/music (instead of /var/Music) so you are filling partition 9 instead of 14 2. your log files (/var/log) are growing huge You can check where the space is bing eaten up by typing (as root): # cd /var # du -xb | sort -n good luck, raffaele Terence Golightly wrote: On Mon, 2004-05-03 at 05:53, Raffaele BELARDI wrote: Terence Golightly wrote: /var partiton 5.4BG ext3 fs 7% used (I don't know why I meant to make it reiserfs but I musta been tired when I was doing the install) /var/Music 5.9GB reiserfs as its file system (its the last partition on my system).

[newbie] System not recognizing correct partition size
Greetings list members/posters, I am taking a reprieve from my lurking to post a problem I'm having with a partition I setup just for my Music/Video downloads. /var partiton 5.4BG ext3 fs 7% used (I don't know why I meant to make it reiserfs but I musta been tired when I was doing the install) /var/Music 5.9GB reiserfs as its file system (its the last partition on my system). This is how diskdrake recognizes it and is has 7% used. However, I use gnome system monitor is shows /var as having a 5.3GB size and it shows 2.7GB used. /var/Music is displayed as having a size of 792MB and 636MB used. I've gotten error message from gtk2-gnutella that my partition was full and I had to stop downloading and this is when I discovered the problem. Any Suggestions?
