This has to be Raid-ed though. I would suggest you are using some sort of hardware Raid as I've never heard of a disk that is 10TB. I thought the max we are up to these days is 3. On 06/06/11 12:25, Sunil M. Dogra wrote: Hi, Here is output pf fdisk -l. aslo I am not using any RAID. With

I'm quite lazy and use Gparted to do this stuff. You can install it by doing yum install gparted. You can then see your disks and partitions and create and label /home on your free 4TB partition. Then edit /etc/fstab. Let us know if you need further help! On 03/06/11 12:40, Sunil M. Dogra

Don't know why this is... But check how big your other partitions are using gparted. As Steven says, this is the old way of doing things. I too always use LVM these days and there's a nice graphical tool: system-config-lvm if you're fazed by the command line :) And of course if you're on a
