This morning I installed a second hard drive. It is an 80 GB. FDISK -l recognizes it like so:


Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 9726 78124063+ 83 Linux

When I go to mount it as my /www, it mounts successfully yea! Or so you think!

Using, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /www I mount it with no errors! Cool!

But df -H outputs:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 20G 1.1G 18G 6% /
tmpfs 62M 0 62M 0% /lib/init/rw
varrun 62M 87k 62M 1% /var/run
varlock 62M 0 62M 0% /var/lock
udev 62M 160k 62M 1% /dev
tmpfs 62M 0 62M 0% /dev/shm
lrm 62M 2.5M 60M 4% /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-server/volatile
/dev/sdb1 40M 4.7M 34M 13% /www

And it is only 40m instead of 80g! I'm kind of getting ripped here

There must be a simple explanation, but it's not coming to me.

Did you put the 4.7M of files on there?

Please post a complete description of your system--especially the size of all drives and partitions, including any CD, DVD, or USB devices.

You didn't actually say how you had made the new filesystem on the drive. Did you leave that part out and so picked up some leftover filesystem?

BINGGGGG---GO!!!

"mount" will tell you what the filesystem is but, if you don't yet have any data, just create a new filesystem and re-mount.
