I moved and resized the partitions as there is data i very much want to keep, but dont have hard disk space elese where to back it up during a compleat re-write of the drive. The process was going well, and everything i wanted was on my new reiserfs partition (/dev/hdb1). I had deleated some stuff that i no longer needed or wanted during the process and so i checked to see how much space i had freed up, and was astonished to find that i had not gained more free space, but lost some! i was intreged to i took a look arround, and found that the space i was using on the reiserfs partition was the wrong size, detales are as follows: Parted: Using /dev/hdb (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/hdb: 0kB - 120GB Disk label type: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32kB 87GB 87GB primary reiserfs 2 87GB 119GB 32GB primary fat32 lba 4 119GB 120GB 543MB primary linux-swap (parted) df -h (extract): /dev/hdb1 67G 43G 24G 65% /mnt/hdb /dev/hdb2 30G 28G 2.8G 91% /mnt/games size of /dev/hdb4: /dev/hdb4 is a 518MB swap partition and incase you would like this infomation: fdisk: Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hdb: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 10631 85393476 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 10632 14527 31294620 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hdb4 14528 14593 530145 82 Linux swap / Solaris Thanks for u help; Nich Steicke --------------------- http://narthollis.net -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
