I've just put in a second harddrive (40GB) in my box (running Sarge on a (badly) customised 2.6.10 kernel). I deleted all the old partitions using fdisk and created a single new 40GB one (actually 39.something according to the partition table), but when mounted 'df' reports it as only 17GB. If I create two partitions of roughly 20GB each then 'df' reports the disk size correctly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is please?
D'Oh, I need to run mke2fs too. Good old 'parted', 'The partition is 39GB, but the filesystem is only 17GB'.
